PHOENIX: BeyondTrust has announced the availability of BeyondInsight Clarity, an advanced threat analytics capability that enables IT and security professionals to identify the data breach threats typically missed by other security analytics solutions. A standard capability of the BeyondInsight management, reporting and analytics console, Clarity pinpoints specific, high-risk users, accounts and assets by correlating low-level privilege, vulnerability and threat data from a variety of BeyondTrust and third-party solutions.

“It’s no secret that IT and security professionals are overloaded with privilege, vulnerability and attack information,” said Brad Hibbert, vice president, product strategy and operations, BeyondTrust. “With today’s announcement of threat analytics as a part of the BeyondInsight console, we’re enabling IT and security teams to spotlight those risky users and assets that were previously overlooked. BeyondTrust strives to stay a step ahead of competitors by delivering innovative technologies that combat issues as they arise, rather than after the damage is done.”

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) often go undetected because traditional security analytics solutions are unable to correlate diverse data to discern hidden risks. Seemingly isolated events are often written off as exceptions, filtered out, or lost altogether in a sea of data. The intruder continues to traverse the network, and the damage continues to multiply.

With BeyondInsight Clarity, IT and security leaders quickly cut through data overload to identify their organizations’ most critical risks. The solution automatically taps into a rich database of information from company desktops and servers to set baselines for normal behavior, observe changes, and identify anomalies that signal critical threats.
