BeyondTrust

Introduction

BeyondTrust helps in managing, controlling, and monitoring privileged user activities. The SAFE-BeyondTrust integration eliminates the manual entry of the assets’ password on the SAFE platform for assessment. With this integration, SAFE pulls the assets’ credentials from the BeyondTrust server via API, authenticates the assets using these credentials, and does the assessment.

Configure BeyondTrust

SAFE Admins can configure BeyondTrust via three login methods.

• Using Certificate Authentication: Use when the login type is a client certificate.
• Using Native Static Account: Use when the login type is with a privileged identity explicit account.
• Using Fully Qualified Account: Use when the login type is with an LDP, Radius, or Windows Domain user.
