Moreover, least privilege is now enforced to maintain the higher security level

BeyondTrust Remote Support
Tons of features for a PAM solution
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We needed a solution that would allow secure access to our OT/SCADA/DCS network for both internal users and vendors. We evaluated a few vendors but decided on BeyondTrust since their solution provided a wide variety of features at the optimal price point. We have it deployed globally at all mine sites using distributed environments.
Pros
- Reporting capabilities for user activities, including complete session recordings
- Integration with SAML for SSO and secure LDAP authentication
- Jump point servers for central isolated access from outside the network
Cons
- There is an extremely steep learning curve.
- To set this up effectively, you will need their professional services.
- Web Jump (HTTPS) is not included in the base license. This should have been included by default, as it is a standard remote access method.
Most Important Features
- RDP, SSH, and Web Jump
- Session recordings
- Approval for starting sessions
Return on Investment
- We are able to securely monitor activity from vendors accessing our network.
- This meets our cybersecurity objectives of securing our OT networks.
- The benefits far outweigh the initial cost of the software.
