Overview
BeyondTrust
BeyondTrust helps you protect your organization by managing and securing every privileged user, asset, and session. You can eliminate the risk of credential theft and unauthorized access by implementing a zero-trust approach to your infrastructure. The platform gives you full visibility into your environment, allowing you to track exactly who is accessing what and when.
You can manage remote support sessions, secure vendor access, and remove administrative rights from endpoints without hurting user productivity. Whether you are managing a small IT team or a global enterprise, the software scales to secure your cloud, on-premise, and hybrid assets. It solves the common headache of managing scattered passwords and unsecured remote entry points by consolidating them into one manageable interface.
Portnox Cloud
Portnox Cloud helps you secure your entire network infrastructure without the headache of managing on-site hardware or complex appliances. You can gain full visibility into every device connecting to your network, whether they are managed corporate laptops, personal mobile devices, or unmanaged IoT hardware. By moving network access control to the cloud, you eliminate the need for local servers and simplify the way you manage authentication across multiple locations.
You can enforce strict security policies and automate responses to non-compliant devices in real-time. The platform integrates directly with your existing cloud identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace to streamline user onboarding. Whether your team is working from a central office or a home coffee shop, you can ensure only authorized users and healthy devices access your sensitive digital assets.
