Our take
Unifying in-office and remote terminals with secure authorisation, BeyondTrust is meeting the changing demands of identity security with new technology. Though it was founded in 1985, BeyondTrust modernised its systems with a new software platform in 2022, that better suits the security needs of remote work and hybrid employee structure.
This modernisation speaks volumes about the direction of BeyondTrust, which was acquired by management platform Bomgar in 2018. With a focus on cloud technology, the company has successfully adapted to the ever-changing shape of cyber security threats and continues to nurture a large client base.
On top of record growth in 2022, the company continues to add new features and capabilities to its platform, showcasing its devotion to innovation that bodes well for its performance in the future. It has also become a strong voice in the movement for better cybersecurity practices in business, conducting surveys and research into the evolving space.
