BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management vs. Symantec PAM

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) empowers organizations to enhance security, streamline compliance, and reduce operational complexity by centralizing policy control and compliance reporting for all endpoints. With best-in-class capabilities across Windows, macOS, Unix, and Linux, EPM supports the zero-trust journey by addressing key principles such as least privilege and zero standing privilege. BeyondTrust EPM enables IT and security teams to elevate application permissions without granting full admin rights, minimizing risk while maintaining productivity.

Symantec PAM is designed to prevent security breaches by protecting sensitive administrative credentials, controlling privileged user access, proactively enforcing security policies, and monitoring and recording privileged user activity across virtual, cloud, and physical environments. The solution provides a privileged credential vault, session recording, threat analytics, host-based access control for mission-critical servers, and application-to-application password management to address non-human actors, such as applications, configuration files, and scripts.
