BeyondTrust Launches Identity Security Risk Assessment
BeyondTrust has launched the new Identity Security Risk Assessment, a free service designed to illuminate identity attack surfaces, so organizations can better manage risk and reduce vulnerabilities. This initiative underscores BeyondTrust's commitment to support companies worldwide in understanding and mitigating identity-based security threats.
The combination of diverse, but hyper-connected, identity landscapes–spanning cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments–and the proliferation of identities, accounts, and entitlements has pushed effective identity security out of reach for most organizations. While identity is the connective tissue that enables modern work, it's also the vector attackers exploit most to breach organizations, with 90% of organizations experiencing an identity-related incident in the last year.
The new BeyondTrust Identity Security Risk Assessment quickly reveals hidden Paths to Privilege within an organization's existing environment. It analyzes key aspects of the identity infrastructure and provides an initial set of findings to help guide security decisions.
Key features of the new Identity Security Risk Assessment: Rapid Deployment: Connects to identity landscapes—including IdPs, cloud platforms, on-premises Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping configurations—in under an hour.

'At BeyondTrust, our mission is to fight every day to secure identities, intelligently remediate threats, and deliver dynamic access to empower and protect organizations around the world,' said Sam Elliott, SVP of Products at BeyondTrust. 'We understand many organizations are struggling to grasp their identity risk exposure, and to that end, our new, Identity Security Risk Assessment allows companies to better understand and identify potential identity risk, all without the costs normally associated with such services.'
The Identity Security Risk Assessment is powered by BeyondTrust's Identity Security Insights, a solution that aggregates identity data and employs AI-based detection capabilities to illuminate hidden Paths to Privilege and identity vulnerabilities. By offering this assessment service at no cost, BeyondTrust aims to democratize access to critical security insights, fostering a more resilient cybersecurity landscape.

Varonis Enhances Data Security Platform
Varonis Systems has announced Varonis Identity Protection, the latest enhancement to its Data Security Platform that gives organizations unified visibility and control of data and identities. Most identity security tools operate in a vacuum — with no understanding of the critical data each identity can access or how they're accessing it. Varonis connects the dots between identities and data, helping organizations automatically reduce access to their most sensitive data, fix identity posture issues, and stop identity-based threats — including those originating from insiders, stolen credentials, and AI tools and agents. Unlike traditional identity products, Varonis understands the blast radius of every identity — showing how much data would be exposed if an identity were compromised. Varonis Identity Protection distinguishes between human and non-human identities, classifies them as internal, guest, external, or privileged, and monitors how they interact with data to detect anomalies. 'Identity and data are deeply intertwined — securing one without the other leaves dangerous gaps,' said Varonis CEO, President, and Co-Founder Yaki Faitelson. 'By unifying identity and data security, Varonis gives customers the context they need to better ensure identity threats don't become data breaches.' Key Capabilities of Varonis Identity Protection: Machine Learning-Based Identity Classification: Varonis integrates with Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, and others to map user accounts across environments. Using machine learning, Varonis auto-classifies identities — tagging executives, privileged users, service accounts, non-human identities, and more.

Using machine learning, Varonis auto-classifies identities — tagging executives, privileged users, service accounts, non-human identities, and more. Peer Analysis & User Behavior Analysis: Varonis continuously analyzes peer behavior to detect anomalies in identity usage, flagging deviations from normal patterns to surface risky activity earlier. Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR): Varonis monitors identity providers for signs of compromise, alerting on suspicious logins, password resets, MFA changes, and policy updates — in context with each account's data access activity. Identity Posture Management With Automated Remediation: Varonis flags stale contractor accounts, excessive permissions, and missing MFA — then automatically remediates risks by revoking access, removing entitlements, and eliminating ghost accounts. Varonis was recently named a Leader in Identity Threat Detection and Response by GigaOm, recognizing the platform's advanced detection and automated response capabilities. These identity capabilities also enhance Varonis Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR), enabling our expert analysts to detect and respond to a broader range of threats faster and more effectively across customer environments.
