BeyondTrust acquires Entitle to strengthen privileged identity security platform

B eyondTrust , a worldwide leader in intelligent identity and access security , has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Entitle , a pioneering privilege management solution that discovers , manages and automates just-in-time ( JIT ) access and modern identity governance and administration ( IGA ) across the entire cloud estate .

These capabilities enhance a customer ’ s ability to provision user access to sensitive data and cloud resources on a time-bounded and ‘ as-needed ’ basis .
While regulations and industry best practices are moving towards zerostanding privileges ( verses 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 its automated provisioning workflows , self-serve access requests , and 150 plus integrations across IaaS / PaaS platforms and SaaS apps .
This acquisition includes all Entitle products , employees , customers , partners , assets and intellectual property .
BeyondTrust further solidifies its industryleading Privilege Identity Security platform with the acquisition of Entitle , expanding beyond traditional privileged access management ( PAM ) to encompass dynamic , just-in-time access management across cloud , SaaS and on-premises environments .
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 , with a unified orchestration approach that enriches the platform with advanced identity governance functionalities .
“ 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 ,” said Janine Seebeck , CEO of BeyondTrust . “ Adopting a unified , orchestrated approach that incorporates dynamic , just-in-time access is critical for safeguarding our customers ’ ever- changing paths to privilege . This strategy not only reduces operational friction , but also 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 ,” said 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 .”
“ BeyondTrust ’ s acquisition of Entitle adds comprehensive permissions and entitlements management across cloud and SaaS platforms to the BeyondTrust Privileged Identity Security platform ,” said Paul Fisher , Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts . •
