BeyondTrust Launches Identity Security Insights Solution

Published

on

BeyondTrust has announced the general availability of its cutting-edge Identity Security Insights solution. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, this innovative solution establishes a new standard in securing human and non-human identities and privileges, granting organizations unparalleled visibility and advanced identity-first threat detection capabilities.

Identity Security Insights marks a transformative addition to the BeyondTrust platform, introducing an advanced intelligence layer that empowers organizations to achieve unprecedented levels of identity and access security. The solution offers a unified view of identities, accounts, cloud entitlements, and privileged access across the entire identity landscape. This seamless correlation of data from BeyondTrust’s products and third-party identity providers, including Okta, Ping Identity, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and cloud providers like AWS and Azure, enables organizations to gain comprehensive insights into identity-related risks.

By harnessing advanced analytics and intelligence, Identity Security Insights provides real-time visualization of threats, illuminates potential attack paths, and offers intelligent, actionable recommendations to bolster identity hygiene. Early adopters of the solution have swiftly detected and remediated security risks, such as unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data, unmanaged admin and over-privileged accounts, potential on-premises to cloud privilege escalation paths, and other previously undetectable security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Key Features of BeyondTrust’s Identity Security Insights Solution:

  • Comprehensive Identity & Access Visibility: Gain a holistic understanding of identities and access across multi-cloud and on-premises environments through a single interface, ensuring comprehensive identity-related risk awareness.
  • Identity Threat Detection: Identify identity-based anomalies in real-time, ranked by severity, empowering proactive response to potential threats.
  • Reduced Identity Attack Surface: Identify blind spots and mitigate risks by proactively identifying vulnerabilities and receiving recommendations to strengthen identity security.
  • Integrated Ecosystem: Leverage the intelligence of BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management (PAM) products and core Identity Access Management systems to automatically remediate identified threats, creating a unified defence against cyberattacks.
  • Quick Start, Instant Value: Organizations can reap actionable findings in less than 30 minutes with a simple two-step process.

“Identity Security Insights completely revolutionizes the way organizations approach identity security, providing an unprecedented level of visibility, threat detection, and actionable insights that haven’t been available to date,” said Marc Maiffret, CTO of BeyondTrust. “We focus on securing the privileges and access that make compromised identities dangerous. By empowering organizations to proactively protect their identities, we’re continuing to spearhead advancements in cybersecurity that safeguard critical assets in today’s evolving threat landscape.”

Cequence Intros Security Layer to Protect Agentic AI Interactions

Published

on

Cequence Security has announced significant enhancements to its Unified API Protection (UAP) platform to deliver a comprehensive security solution for agentic AI development, usage, and connectivity. This enhancement empowers organizations to secure every AI agent interaction, regardless of the development framework. By implementing robust guardrails, the solution protects both enterprise-hosted AI applications and external AI APIs, preventing sensitive data exfiltration through business logic abuse and ensuring regulatory compliance.

There is no AI without APIs, and the rapid growth of agentic AI applications has amplified concerns about securing sensitive data during their interactions. These AI-driven exchanges can inadvertently expose internal systems, create significant vulnerabilities, and jeopardize valuable data assets. Recognising this critical challenge, Cequence has expanded its UAP platform, introducing an enhanced security layer to govern interactions between AI agents and backend services specifically. This new layer of security enables customers to detect and prevent AI bots such as ChatGPT from OpenAI and Perplexity from harvesting organizational data.

Internal telemetry across Global 2000 deployments shows that the overwhelming majority of AI-related bot traffic, nearly 88%, originates from large language model infrastructure, with most requests obfuscated behind generic or unidentified user agents. Less than 4% of this traffic is transparently attributed to bots like GPTBot or Gemini. Over 97% of it comes from U.S.-based IP addresses, highlighting the concentration of risk in North American enterprises. Cequence’s ability to detect and govern this traffic in real time, despite the lack of clear identifiers, reinforces the platform’s unmatched readiness for securing agentic AI in the wild.

Key enhancements to Cequence’s UAP platform include:

  • Block unauthorized AI data harvesting: Understanding that external AI often seeks to learn by broadly collecting data without obtaining permission, Cequence provides organizations with the critical capability to manage which AI, if any, can interact with their proprietary information.
  • Detect and prevent sensitive data exposure: Empowers organizations to effectively detect and prevent sensitive data exposure across all forms of agentic AI. This includes safeguarding against external AI harvesting attempts and securing data within internal AI applications. The platform’s intelligent analysis automatically differentiates between legitimate data access during normal application usage and anomalous activities signaling sensitive data exfiltration, ensuring comprehensive protection against AI-related data loss.
  • Discover and manage shadow AI: Automatically discovers and classifies APIs from agentic AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce, presenting a unified view alongside customers’ internal and third-party APIs. This comprehensive visibility empowers organizations to easily manage these interactions and effectively detect and block sensitive data leaks, whether from external AI harvesting or internal AI usage.
  • Seamless integration: Integrates easily into DevOps frameworks for discovering internal AI applications and generates OpenAPI specifications that detail API schemas and security mechanisms, including strong authentication and security policies. Cequence delivers powerful protection without relying on third-party tools, while seamlessly integrating with the customer’s existing cybersecurity ecosystem. This simplifies management and security enforcement.

“Gartner predicts that by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously. We’ve taken immediate action to extend our market-leading API security and bot management capabilities,” said Ameya Talwalkar, CEO of Cequence. “Agentic AI introduces a new layer of complexity, where every agent behaves like a bidirectional API. That’s our wheelhouse. Our platform helps organizations embrace innovation at scale without sacrificing governance, compliance, or control.”

These extended capabilities will be generally available in June.
