single user interface, to manage endpoint
and privileged risks.
The integration will address several critical
use cases for organisations embracing
privileged access management:
• Selectively rotate privileged passwords on
assets directly from ePO
• Launch an interactive session or retrieve
privileged credentials for SSH or RDP as
an ePO Action using native client tools
• Lifecycle management of privileged
accounts from discovery through
management within ePO
• Identify whether a system is provisioned
into PowerBroker and whether it is under
Password Safe management
• Automatically push tags from ePO into
Password Safe, enabling dynamic access
control for managed accounts

privileged session management capabilities
through a single platform.

management of privileged accounts directly
from the ePO console.
According to Forrester Research, 80% of
data breaches are the result of privileged
credential misuse or abuse. When a data
breach happens as a result of the misuse
or abuse of excessive user privileges,
the natural reaction for IT is to enhance
endpoint protection and prevent the use of
shared accounts.
This reaction is designed to stop future
attacks on important assets, but often
requires multiple tools that don’t talk to one
another. Integrating PowerBroker Password
Safe with McAfee ePO will help overcome
the complexity involved with making these
changes and will enable cohesion within a

needs. Together with BeyondTrust we are

BeyondTrust, said: “We are proud to offer
another integration with McAfee that
expands our offerings through the McAfee
Security Innovation Alliance.
“Now, ePO customers can manage privileges,
bring systems under privilege management,
and access privileged passwords and
sessions directly through the ePO
interface. The end results make it easier for
organisations to control privileged accounts
and mitigate potential threats.” n
