BeyondTrust named a leader in identity threat detection and response
BeyondTrust has been recognised as a leader in KuppingerCole Analysts AG ’ s 2024 Leadership Compass , Identity Threat Detection and Response ( ITDR ): IAM Meets the SOC .
In addition to being recognised as an ‘ Overall Leader ’ in the report , BeyondTrust is also named as a leader in the Innovation , Product and Market categories .
The KuppingerCole Leadership Compass is an independent research report with in-depth ratings and reviews to help identity and security leaders choose solutions that can have the most comprehensive impact on their cybersecurity programs .
“ BeyondTrust ’ s ITDR solution excels in a majority of the categories measured ,” said Mike Neuenschwander , VP KuppingerCole US and Global Head of Research Strategy . “ For example , we note in the report that BeyondTrust was able to identify more than
15,000 accounts and then associate those accounts with 5,000 identities – improving the visibility and manageability of the organisation ’ s identity surface .”
Without active threat detection and monitoring , it can be challenging to differentiate between a valid user with compromised credentials and an adversary posing as that user .
“ The identity threat landscape is constantly evolving with an alarming rise in identitybased attacks ,” said Marc Maiffret , Chief Technology Officer at BeyondTrust . “ This recognition as an ITDR Leader validates BeyondTrust as a trusted leader in identity security . We are the best unified vendor that helps organisations gain threat-aware context and protect their identity landscape across on-premises , clouds , identity providers , and SaaS environments from a single place .
