BeyondTrust, the identity and access security company, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Entitle, the privilege management platform. This acquisition includes all Entitle products, employees, customers, partners, assets, and intellectual property.
Its solution discovers, manages, and automates just-in-time (JIT) access and modern identity governance and administration (IGA) across the entire cloud estate. This enhances a customer’s ability to provision user access to sensitive data and cloud resources on a time-bounded and “as-needed” basis.
This acquisition further strengthens BeyondTrust’s Privilege Identity Security platform, expanding beyond traditional PAM to accommodate just-in-time access management across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. “The BeyondTrust acquisition of Entitle signifies a crucial evolution in our fight to ensure customers can protect all paths to privileges, focusing on identity-first security across all IT environments,” says Janine Seebeck, CEO of BeyondTrust.
Adding Entitle to its product portfolio enhances the capability to address the sophisticated challenges of PAM and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) in today’s cloud-centric landscape.
Seebeck added, “Adopting a unified, orchestrated approach incorporating dynamic, just-in-time access is critical for safeguarding our customers’ ever-changing paths to privilege. This strategy reduces operational friction and enhances the security of the entire identity infrastructure more effectively.”
“Entitle’s JIT Access and Cloud Permissions Management solution is an emerging leader in the Identity Security market,” says Ron Nissim, CEO of Entitle. “This acquisition allows Entitle to continue to grow through BeyondTrust’s years of expertise and dominance in the PAM market – offering significant opportunities for Entitle’s team.”
While regulations and industry best practices are moving towards zero-standing privileges (vs. permanent privileged access as provided by traditional PAM offerings), companies have struggled to implement JIT with existing tools, particularly in cloud and hybrid environments.
Entitle solves this issue with automated provisioning workflows, self-serve access requests, and 150+ integrations across IaaS/PaaS platforms and SaaS apps.
“BeyondTrust’s acquisition of Entitle adds comprehensive permissions and entitlements management across cloud and SaaS platforms to the BeyondTrust Privileged Identity Security platform,” states Paul Fisher, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts. The Entitle solution is immediately available to all BeyondTrust customers.
