BeyondTrust, an intelligent identity and access security firm, has announced its acquisition of Entitle, a provider of privilege management solutions.
BeyondTrust specializes in comprehensive security across IT environments, enhancing identity-first security. Entitle has been recognised for its pioneering just-in-time (JIT) access and identity governance solutions tailored for cloud ecosystems.
The acquisition aims to integrate Entitle’s cutting-edge JIT access and modern identity governance into BeyondTrust’s Privileged Identity Security platform, effectively addressing the challenges of privileged access management (PAM) in cloud and hybrid environments. Although the financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, this strategic move is set to transform how organisations manage user access to sensitive data and resources, aligning with industry best practices towards zero-standing privileges.
BeyondTrust focuses on intelligent identity and access security, providing solutions that enhance a customer’s ability to safeguard all paths to privileges with a focus on identity-first security. Their platform offers a unified approach to manage privileges across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments, driving down operational friction and enhancing security infrastructures.
Entitle is at the forefront of the privilege management industry, offering solutions that discover, manage, and automate JIT access and identity governance across various platforms including IaaS/PaaS and SaaS apps. With over 150 integrations, Entitle’s technology enables automated provisioning workflows and self-serve access requests, crucial for modern cloud landscapes.
By acquiring Entitle, BeyondTrust not only broadens its capabilities in privileged access management but also enhances its platform to include comprehensive permissions and entitlements management across multiple cloud and SaaS platforms. This acquisition is a strategic expansion aimed at consolidating BeyondTrust’s leadership in the increasingly critical field of Privilege Identity Security.
The acquisition encompasses all of Entitle’s products, employees, customers, partners, assets, and intellectual property, marking a significant enhancement in BeyondTrust’s service offerings and market reach. This integration is expected to provide substantial growth opportunities for Entitle’s team and solutions under BeyondTrust’s established industry presence.
BeyondTrust CEO Janine Seebeck said, “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. 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 CEO Ron Nissim said, “Entitle’s JIT Access and Cloud Permissions Management solution is an emerging leader in the Identity Security market. 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.”
