BeClever
A Next-Gen Proactive Shield against Identity Thefts

Gone are the days when lengthy passwords shielded us in the digital world against cyber predators. The growing scope and complexity of modern environments have created immense pressure on IT professionals to keep up with new security threats and increasing customer and employee expectations. Staying ahead of the evolving Identity and Access Management (IAM) landscape and enabling customers to meet their business objectives is BeClever.

Founded in 2011 in the industrial port city of Northern Spain, BeClever started its journey by delivering performance-related projects built for applications and databases in the Basque Country. Later, the company was involved in providing professional services for Quest Software and Dell Software Group (DSG). By 2015, the initiative to engage BeClever in security projects by DSG Spain resulted in BeClever becoming a go-to specialist for IAM and privileged access management (PAM) projects. Today, as an advanced IT company, BeClever offers services in the areas of infrastructure and applications, data management, and IAM and PAM.

Excessive permissions lead to identity thefts and can cause significant threats to a company’s critical data. BeClever’s IAM services allow corporations to manage all their permissions based on user roles effectively. “Our IAM service grants businesses with the power to decide who can gain access to applications and permissions and eliminate permissions not needed for daily tasks, thereby avoiding security gaps in case of a breach,” says Aiert Azueta Dudagoitia, founder and CEO, BeClever. For new permission requests or user separation, BeClever automates the provisioning, user registration, or cancellation procedures. In addition to making it easy for users to request for permissions, their strategy includes a least privilege approach both in provisioning and governance when implementing an IAM solution.

The key to delivering maximum value to our clients is making them understand that we are here to help them meet their goals with transparency

PAM, on the other hand, protects administrator accounts with privileged passwords while their work gets recorded and audited. By using privileged account passwords, they can give security teams all the tools needed to audit their work and also detect account-related threats.

While catering to its clients in their IAM or PAM journey, BeClever’s approach begins with comprehending their requirements and business processes. The next step is to make them understand the significance of provisioning and its impact on any business in today’s fast-changing digital marketplace. Azueta adds, “The key to delivering maximum value to our clients is making them understand that we are here to help them meet their goals with transparency and offering them the necessary advice to make the best decisions.”

Highlighting BeClever’s expertise and unique approach in meeting its clients’ needs is the story of one of the largest private universities in Spain. The university wanted to standardize and automate all provisioning tasks for all the other universities under it. Also, due to a new third-party application that had a fast-approaching go-live date, the university was unable to integrate all universities one by one and therefore had to face them all at the same time. Once BeClever stepped into the picture, the university was able to complete the standardization and automation of the provisioning process while meeting the go-live deadline as needed.

Surging forward on its mission to provide innovative and value-added solutions to its clients, BeClever is continuously working hard on improving the efficacy of its IAM and PAM solutions and teams. In the coming years, the company will focus only on IAM and PAM projects. Geographically, BeClever will soon be expanding its reach to other cities of Europe. “We are completely centered on making businesses understand the value of the least privilege approach in the IAM and PAM space in order to improve their security measures,” adds Azueta.
