Endpoint Privilege Management

Hi Everyone, I have the following use case:How can i target the git command in the terminal?The Git binary was installed by the user via Homebrew.I’ve tried matching File / Folder Name criteria with git, and also using the absolute path /usr/local/Cellar/git/2.51.1/bin/git in the Application Groups, but it still didn’t work.I tried matching it with parent process and even using the hash (SHA-256).I tested sample commands like ls -la, as shown in the documentation website, and the ls -la were successfully captured.The git command filtering is only work when i use a sudo command application type. i.e. if i type sudo git pull...But the case i want is not using sudo.Does EPM-M only process binary that are signed by Apple?Because the git from homebrew is not signed. I’m using macOS 13 Ventura and PMC 25.6.580 Thanks

We have a requirement in our environment wherein we want to restrict users from modifying certain registry keys/ hives. We want to know:whether we can enforce this using EPM policies or do we need to use group policies for this?Will EPM Policy be able to block users from modifying registry values within their respective endpoints? Can Avecto Defendpoint Service identify such events related to registry modifications i.e. will we see event logs (in Event Viewer and BT EPM cloud console) related to every unique registry key/ hive?

Hi,Has anyone seen issues with Win11 AutoPilot laptops and PatchMyPC where EPM is now prompting users trying to install anything in Company Portal.I found thisPreviously: EPM probably trusted these scripts through a Publisher rule or Parent process allow rule.Now: After a recent Patch My PC update (around Oct 2025), the background script is signed or launched differently, possibly under the System Functions policy group, and no longer matches the older rule conditions.Anyone any ideas?

I have a hybrid environment where my on-prem AD group accounts are created and then later on syncd to Entra ID. When I add one of the syncd groups, the filter does not get applied at all. Does anybody know how EPM checks for which group a user belongs to? I tried creating a separate Entra ID cloud group and added myself as a member, got the sync completed via the API, then added an account filter using this group, still does not get applied. What am I missing?

Hi guys,We want to achieve this Use-case on MAC: Allow whitelisted Installers and let all other installers go through an approval process.We want to trigger a JIT message for all installers other than Whitelisted ones.So we created 2 rules, one to allow whitelisted installers and other rule to request.Coming to request all other installers (other than whitelisted ones), we placed .dmg and .pkg in application rules under binary and package applications, dmg is not getting any JIT message and we are able to proceed with installation and when it comes to .pkg, JIT request message is populating but in the middle of Installation process, it is asking for username and password again. These rules are being applied for standard users only. So is there a way to make all .dmg and .pkg files go through JIT when the user hits other installers other than whitelisted ones.

Hey everyone,I often find myself referring back to some of the same EPM-W KB articles over and over again, so I thought I'd share below some of my most commonly visited KBs to keep in your back pocket. EPM-W troubleshooting guide: https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0017077This one is a great starting point for any EPM-W related troubleshooting steps. EPM-W has three primary components to consider up front, each acting as a variable when troubleshooting an issue. These are:Defendpoint Service PGHook (user space) PGDriver (kernel space)While I plan to create a separate post in the future to review each of these components and what their roles are, the primary goal of this KB article is to help you with component isolation. In other words, which of the above three components is involved in the issue?If we can isolate which component of EPM is related to the issue at hand, we can focus our attention on the relevant piece and resolve the pro

Hi All.As I have done quite a few implementation of PS Cloud and PM Cloud, lots of people curse the filter option or start typing a searching in the wrong field, or get interrupted by the partial typing search. So, I was thrilled to see the new insights and looking at the connector view. Is there any reason why we can’t have a similar filter option in PM Cloud Analytics or PS Cloud etc. So much easier to sort and filter data with. Add Column, first line filter option.. even has reverse filter option etc. What is your all thoughts about a filter option like that, compared to current?It almost feel like legacy from the good old SSRS reports.

Hi all,I am struggling to figure out why EPM is not correctly following rule priority within a workstyle. Our current policy was provided to us by BeyondTrust during our configuration sessions. I have added an application to policy via the “add to policy” button on the analytics page, to a rule that targets the application group “Add Basic Admin - High Flexibility”. In the application definition, I only use the product name as well as the publisher (provided by “add to policy” button).The problem is, when I try to launch the application, I don’t get the intended behaviour. I then check the analytics and I see the event was matched to a rule within the same workstyle with much lower priority.What’s going on?

Hi All,Could you please clarify whether REST API port 24351 (pbrestport) needs to be configured for bidirectional communication between BIUL and all hosts (including the policy server and endpoints), or if it should be set up as unidirectional—from BIUL to all hosts, or from all hosts to BIUL? Thanks

Given macOS Tahoe is around the corner, I thought I'd create a post to share any known issues we've found so far. We have been testing EPM with all macOS Tahoe betas which we have available to us as a member of the Apple Developer Program. During this testing, we’ve identified a few minor issues. Below, you’ll find details of the problems, workarounds (where available), and planned resolutions.Issue 1: Incorrect OS Name and Version Displayed in PM CloudDescription: In PM Cloud, the macOS Tahoe version is reported incorrectly. Where to See: Home → Computer → Details → OS → the “Name” and “Version” fields show incorrect values. Workaround: None. Resolution: This will be fixed in 25.8 release, where the OS will correctly display as macOS Tahoe (26.0).Issue 2: Refresh Button Flicker and Freeze in BT.appDescription: When users click the Refresh button in BT.app, the button flickers. If “Pending” data is present, selecting Refresh causes the dialog to become unresponsive, and the “Pending” s
