PRESS RELEASE
NEW YORK, February 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Beyond identity, the leading provider of passwordless and phishing-resistant MFA, today announced the release of its new Device360 solution for continuously managing the security posture of devices. Device360 is the first and only device security tool designed from day one to deliver a simple administration experience, provide visibility into the security status of 100% of your devices, and combine device security with authentication. New tool enables organizations of any size to immediately identify device security risks, including vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, on both managed and unmanaged devices and block vulnerable devices from entering the digital ecosystem to prevent them from occurring violations.
“With the volume and variation of devices accessing corporate resources today, authentication solutions must be broad enough to include device trust to ensure only the right people on secure devices can access the right data and services” , said Jasson Casey, CEO of Beyond Identity. . “With Device360, we are addressing a blind spot in device security visibility that other platforms cannot reach, providing insight and control for unmanaged endpoints. Combined with phishing-resistant, risk-aware MFA, organizations can gain unprecedented visibility and enforce device security compliance at the point of authentication and continuously to prevent breaches.”
Device360 responds to organizations’ growing need to prevent risks associated with Bring Your Own Device or BYOD practices, where users and collaborators may use computers, smartphones and other devices for work purposes. The tool allows organizations to quickly and easily monitor the security of an entire fleet of devices, each of which can be owned, managed and configured differently. Until now, organizations could only achieve this level of visibility and proactive security for managed devices using mobile device management (MDM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, which are expensive and resource-intensive to manage .
“Device360 will significantly increase the visibility of our fleet,” said Glen Saunders, Security Engineer at mParticle. “We’re doing this with Osquery right now, but having visibility tied to authentication is a strong indicator of risk.”
Available as a standalone solution or as a complement to Beyond Identity’s Secure Workforce offering, Device360 can be deployed quickly without relying on MDMs. Features include:
Centralized visibility into vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
Device360 provides an overview of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across your entire device fleet, a central report to monitor, ensure, and demonstrate device compliance, and the ability to drill down into risky devices to perform more in-depth device security posture diagnoses.
Real-time and scheduled device interrogation with managed Osquery
With 45 ready-made device queries, Device360 makes using Osquery easy, without requiring SQL knowledge or experience. It facilitates real-time and scheduled queries, ensuring continuous endpoint security and risk assessment over time.
Visibility to unmanaged devices
Device360 solves this challenge by combining privacy-preserving security assessments with authentication in a single, lightweight authenticator that requires no administrative privileges on the end-user device.
Test Zero Trust access policies
Device360 enables policy simulation, allowing administrators to test access policies without affecting user authentication in production, allowing administrators to create complex policies and understand the impact of enforcing device trust policies according to strategies zero-trust authentication.
Enforces device security compliance upon authentication
Together with Beyond Identity’s Secure Workforce platform, Device360 enables administrators to go beyond visibility and enforce access policies using device security insights, ensuring that only compliant devices can access corporate resources and applications.
Beyond Identity is offering the first 100 users a free year of access to Device360 in the initial phase of the product. For more information about Device360, visit
