Commvault and BeyondTrust Join Forces
Strategic Partnership
Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a renowned provider of data protection and cyber resilience solutions in the hybrid cloud arena, has entered into a strategic collaboration with BeyondTrust, a global leader in identity security, to enhance privileged access management (PAM). This partnership seeks to streamline how organizations secure their critical systems and data by integrating BeyondTrust's Password Safe within the Commvault Cloud cyber resilience platform, also known as the BeyondTrust Pathfinder Platform.
Adapting to Cyber Threats
In an era where cyber threats are continuously evolving, organizations face the critical task of ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. As cybersecurity becomes increasingly complex, with machine identities joining the fray alongside human ones, there exists a broad and often misunderstood landscape of security scrutiny. David Manks, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at BeyondTrust, highlighted that every identity—human, machine, application, or AI—can pose a potential risk. The integration of Commvault and BeyondTrust aims to provide heightened visibility and control for managing privileged access, thereby advancing overall cyber resilience through Commvault Cloud.
Benefits of the Integration
This collaboration directly addresses issues in credential management by melding the power of Commvault Cloud with the clarity and control offered by BeyondTrust’s Password Safe. Significant benefits include:
- - Centralized Credential Management: Organizations can securely manage their credentials from a centralized platform.
- - Just-in-Time (JIT) Access: The system grants unique, temporary credentials, valid only for a specific task, thus minimizing the risk of credential abuse. Once the task is done, access is automatically revoked.
- - Enhanced Audit and Compliance Features: This integration provides detailed audit trails and supports compliance requirements, facilitating the enforcement of principles such as ‘least privilege’ and ‘role-based access’. It also allows for the secure control of third-party access and automatic password rotation.
- - Advancing Cyber Resilience via Commvault Cloud: Users can leverage an integrated platform that seamlessly combines AI capabilities, data protection, and threat detection to safeguard various environments, workloads, and mission-critical data.
Alan Atkinson, Chief Business Development Officer at Commvault, emphasized that securing access points is vital for a successful cyber resilience strategy. By partnering with BeyondTrust, they are offering innovative options for managing privileged access specifically tailored to meet the challenges posed by identity theft and unauthorized access.
