CyberArk - Privilege Access Management

Summary:

CyberArk offers a comprehensive Identity Security Platform designed to secure all types of identities—human and machine—across various environments and applications. The platform includes solutions for privileged access management (PAM), secrets management, endpoint privilege security, and cloud security. CyberArk's PAM tools are particularly robust, providing secure management of privileged accounts, sessions, and access controls to mitigate risks associated with over-privileged accounts and potential security breaches. Their secrets management solutions secure and manage credentials across DevOps pipelines and application environments, ensuring that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access.

Additionally, CyberArk's endpoint privilege security helps organizations enforce least privilege policies by removing local admin rights and managing elevated access requests, thereby reducing the attack surface and enhancing security posture. The platform also includes identity governance and administration (IGA) to automate and streamline the identity lifecycle, ensuring that only authorized users have access to corporate resources. By integrating these solutions, CyberArk enables organizations to adopt a Zero Trust security model, where continuous verification and least privilege principles are central to securing access and reducing cyber risk.

Key Features:

1. Privileged Access Management (PAM) - Protects privileged accounts and sessions, ensuring secure access and monitoring to prevent unauthorized use and potential security breaches.
2. Secrets Management - Centrally secures and manages non-human credentials used by applications and DevOps tools, providing a frictionless experience for developers while safeguarding sensitive information.
3. Endpoint Privilege Management - Enforces least privilege policies by removing local admin rights and managing privilege elevation requests, thus reducing the risk of malware and ransomware attacks on endpoints.
4. Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) - Automates the management of the digital identity lifecycle, ensuring that access rights are appropriately assigned, managed, and audited to meet compliance and security requirements.
5. Cloud Security - Provides tools to secure privileged access in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, ensuring consistent visibility, control, and monitoring of privileged access across various cloud platforms.
