As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations are working tirelessly to ensure that only authorized users with the appropriate level of privileges have access to their data. While protecting user credentials is a well-known challenge, the proliferation of non-human identities—that is, machine identities used by applications, scripts, and automated services—creates a broad and often poorly understood attack surface.
“Today’s organizations face increasingly complex identity environments, where every person, machine, application, and agentic AI identity represents a potential threat. This new integration between BeyondTrust and Commvault provides our customers with exceptional visibility and control over privileged access management within their backup and recovery environments, while also enhancing cyber resilience through Commvault Cloud,” said David Manks, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at BeyondTrust.
With today's announcement, Commvault and BeyondTrust overcome this challenge by combining the security, scalability, and flexibility of Commvault Cloud with the simplicity, visibility, and control offered by Password Safe, to:
• Centralize credential management: securely manage credentials from a single, secure, and centralized location.
• Leverage just-in-time (JIT) access: Grant unique, temporary credentials that are valid only for that specific task. This just-in-time approach is designed to automatically revoke access once the task is completed, reducing the risk of credential misuse or account hijacking.
• Strengthen audit and compliance capabilities: Maintain a detailed audit trail and support compliance objectives. Integration helps organizations implement principles such as least privilege and role-based access, automatically rotate passwords, and securely control third-party access.
• Enhance cyber resilience through Commvault Cloud: Leverage a unified platform that seamlessly combines artificial intelligence, data protection, and threat detection and response to help protect all critical environments, workloads, and datasets.
“Securing access points is a critical component of a cyber resilience strategy,” says Alan Atkinson, director of business development at Commvault. “By partnering with BeyondTrust, we are providing customers with innovative options for managing privileged access within their backup and recovery environments to combat threats related to login data theft and unauthorized access.”.
