BeyondTrust: New 5-Pillar Framework for Identity Security Risk

BeyondTrust has expanded its Identity Security Risk Assessment with a new five-pillar framework. This framework helps organizations quickly find areas of concern and identify actions to reduce risk. The enhanced assessment now maps the entire identity attack surface, covering human, non-human, and AI identities. This allows teams to discover and act on risk with speed and confidence. A new AI Security pillar specifically uncovers data, tool use, and secrets exposure within enterprise environments. These risks are often invisible to traditional security tools. The assessment also provides deeper visibility into identity hygiene risks, effective privilege, and emerging attack pathways. Its Findings Explorer maps recommendations to frameworks like NIST 800-53 and MITRE ATT&CK. This helps organizations align their work with broader security and compliance goals. The bottom line: this new framework helps organizations understand and address complex identity risks in today's interconnected digital landscape.
