CyberArk news stories

CyberArk has announced the launch of CyberArk Ventures, a $30 million global investment fund dedicated to advancing the next generation of security disruptors.

Today we are joined by CyberArk regional manager for A/NZ Thomas Fikentscher, who gives us some expert insight into the company's Threat Landscape 2022 Report.

"We welcome CyberArk and Recorded Future to the alliance. Their diverse cybersecurity expertise will serve to further strengthen organisations SOCs and accelerate the building of an open XDR framework.”

Almost half of organisations in the global survey say their visibility into user logs and user activity is limited, which creates ‘blind spots’ for potentially risky behaviour.

Organisations still operate with limited visibility of user activity associated with web applications, despite the risk of insider threats and credential theft.

CyberArk has advanced its identity security platform with new cloud solutions and shared services, in a bid to secure risky access and deliver broad identity protection.

CyberArk is looking to double its growth in this market in 2021 by working with Chillisoft to selectively expand our partner base."

“Through our integration with Forescout and Phosphorus, CyberArk dramatically improves security and compliance, and alleviates the burden on IT and security teams."

Expanded partnerships and integrations with Splunk, CrowdStrike and CyberArk allow for better IT and OT security posture for joint customers.

“Cloud adoption has massively accelerated, but as new environments and cloud services are deployed, thousands of identity-based permissions are created – many of which go overlooked."

“Our CyberArk partnership extension provides security teams with increased detection and enhanced adaptive controls to help prevent today’s most severe threats."

According to the study, employees' habits, including password re-use and letting family members use corporate devices, are putting critical business systems and sensitive data at risk.

CyberArk has expanded its just-in-time capabilities across its access management portfolio to help organisations reduce risk and implement broader least privilege strategies.

Both companies gained the highest score for the identity management theme in GlobalData’s Thematic Scorecard for the security software sector.

The solutions solutions expand remote vendor and Just-in-Time access capabilities to maximise risk reduction.

“CyberArk has made a commitment to a best-in-class global partner programme that allows partners the flexibility and scalability to capitalise on emerging market trends."

As organisations utilise the cloud to accelerate digital transformation, there must be greater awareness of where potential security risks exist.

CyberArk Marketplace logs more than 13,000 downloads across technology categories, including cloud, devops and robotic process automation.

While blockchain itself is considered to be ‘safe’, vulnerabilities can be targeted on the endpoints.

“With support for CyberArk, mutual customers can now take a business-centric approach to security policy."

Criminals are looking to steal any credentials that could allow for privilege escalation.  

An external attacker or malicious insider who is able to hijack these types of user credentials could shut down cloud environments.

Credentials for SAP applications and systems are sought out by attackers to gain access to business-critical information and assets.

CyberArk's EMEA VP discusses evolving techniques of cybercrime in the financial sector and how businesses need to think like attackers.
