What are the ASTORS?
The Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards are the United States National Security Awards Program. This program highlights the most advanced security solutions that reach the market. ASTORS evaluates nominations according to the innovation. Interoperability or specific impact is also important within each category. Impact on the industry and relationship with other technologies and it’s feasibility.
In 2019, William (Bill) Bratton, former NY PD police commissioner presented the ASTORS. Bratto talked about the history of the police in the United States. In addition, he highlighted the evolution of communication skills since 9/11.
What this award represents for BeyondTrust
BeyondTrust’s work
Password Management and Privileged Sessions
Also known as “Password Safe“, it is an unmatched control system over remote access. Above all, Password Safe gives users the access they need while keeping attackers at bay. In addition, it focuses on the user. It protects and controls privileged remote access for insiders and providers. Password Safe handles internal and external compliance requirements. This is done with comprehensive auditing and forensic analysis. This privileged access grants security professionals to control and track access to critical systems.
The Password Safe system also prevents abuse of “privilege accumulator”. Access accumulators allow the progressive amassing of access rights. This can go beyond what an employee needs for his job. An employee with excessive rights may use them inappropriately. Besides, if an intruder gains access to an account with more benefits than is due, he will also have these. Both scenarios represent risks, but Password Safe grants the rapid application of small privileges to protect assets.

Network Devices, IoT, ICS, and SCADA
Devices such as routers, IoT, ICS, and SCADA are critical to the security of each company’s networks. When unprotected, they allow external attackers and malware to enter our company environment. The best way to avoid cyber attacks is to check each device and have granular control with detailed audits.
Behavior analysis to detect suspicious user activity is important. Unlike some tools that scan specific devices, BeyondTrust allows you to protect all network devices with a single solution. Besides, it interrupts the administration of passwords after a user has access to the device, avoiding filtration.
