BeyondTrust has partnered with Red Hat to join the latter’s ISV Partner Program and create joint offerings aimed at providing Red Hat users an aligned package of the privileged identity management (PIM) tools needed for mission-critical servers.
According to BeyondTrust, the combined offerings are designed to increase efficiency in managing hypervisors and guest deployments, provide security of mission-critical systems, data and applications, and improve compliance and reporting on industry-specific requirements.
In addition, the inclusion of BeyondTrust in the Red Hat ISV ecosystem will remove key obstacles for Red Hat channel partners and customers who want to adopt virtual and cloud infrastructure for mission-critical data and applications.
The company said that the certification of PowerBroker with Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers customers the ability to configure and enforce granular policies related to delegated systems privileges, to monitor and record privileged system activity down to the keystroke, and to report on privileged entitlements.
John Mutch, CEO of BeyondTrust, said: "Through our work with Red Hat and the Red Hat Ready program, we’re offering expanded cost reduction, security and sustainability for Red Hat Enterprise Linux users in combination with our offerings.
"We’re excited to support Red Hat’s upcoming Enterprise Linux 6 release, which is expected to introduce even more advanced features to bring Red Hat onto an enterprise’s most important servers in the data centre that run critical applications."
