Dubai, UAE | September 2026
iConnect IT Business Solutions has been recognised as Emerging Partner of the Year 2026 by BeyondTrust. The award reflects the growing collaboration between the two organisations and iConnect’s work in delivering privileged access and identity security solutions to customers across the UAE and the wider region.
Why privileged access matters
The recognition comes as organisations continue to reassess how privileged accounts, administrative access and critical systems are protected. Privileged access remains a key area of enterprise security, particularly as IT environments become more distributed across cloud, on-premises infrastructure and third-party systems, and as the number of service accounts and machine identities grows beyond the number of staff.
In the UAE, privileged access is also a compliance matter. The UAE Information Assurance Standards set explicit requirements for privileged account control, session monitoring and audit trail, and Dubai government and semi-government bodies are examined on privileged access and session evidence under the DESC Information Security Regulation.
The iConnect and BeyondTrust partnership
Through its partnership with BeyondTrust, iConnect works with organisations to address these requirements through Privileged Access Management (PAM), helping security and IT teams gain control over privileged identities and access.
iConnect deploys the BeyondTrust portfolio, including Password Safe for privileged account and session management, Privileged Remote Access for vendor and administrator access, Endpoint Privilege Management for least privilege on Windows, Mac, Unix and Linux, and Identity Security Insights for continuous assessment of identity posture across directories, cloud services and DevOps systems.
The company’s delivery covers privileged account discovery, vault design and onboarding, session management rollout, least privilege on endpoints, and integration with the customer’s identity provider, ticketing system and SIEM. Ongoing account onboarding, policy changes and access reviews are handled by iConnect’s team in Dubai, and the same service is available as Privileged Access Management as a Service for organisations that prefer not to run the platform themselves.
The partnership brings together BeyondTrust’s security technologies with iConnect’s local expertise in cybersecurity consulting, solution implementation and managed security services. The award also reflects the work carried out by iConnect’s cybersecurity and technical teams in supporting customers throughout the deployment and adoption of privileged access security solutions.
A growing identity security portfolio
iConnect has continued to expand its cybersecurity portfolio through partnerships with established security technology providers, giving organisations access to solutions across identity and access management, email security, security operations and other areas of enterprise security.
The recognition from BeyondTrust marks another step in the development of the partnership and strengthens iConnect’s position in the UAE and regional cybersecurity market. Organisations reviewing their privileged access controls can contact the iConnect team to discuss their requirements.
