CyberArk Launches Industry's First Privileged Access Security Solution for Continuous Discovery and Protection in the Cloud
RSA (News - Alert) Conference (Booth #6253 North) -- CyberArk
(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the global leader in privileged
access security, today announced ground-breaking new capabilities to
simplify the continuous discovery and protection of privileged accounts
in cloud environments. The CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution
v10.8 is the first-of-its-kind to automate detection, alerting and
response for unmanaged and potentially-risky Amazon Web Services (News - Alert) (AWS)
accounts. This version also features new industry-leading Just-in-Time
capabilities that deliver flexible user access to cloud-based or
on-premises Windows systems.
According to Gartner (News - Alert), "risk management cannot be just a reactive process
(discovering excessive risk after it has been created). Digital business
risks can be discovered, anticipated, predicted and assessed with
risk-prioritized pre-emptive actions taken to change the organization's
security and risk posture."1
With the new v10.8 release, the CyberArk
Privileged Access Security Solution sets a new standard by
delivering the industry's most comprehensive approach to security and
operational efficiency in the cloud through:
-
Continuous Privileged Account Discovery: Further advancing its cloud
security capabilities, including the automatic onboarding of AWS
instances, CyberArk now offers the only privileged access security
solution that identifies privileged accounts in AWS - such as
unmanaged Identity and Access Management (IAM) users (including Shadow
Admins), and EC2 instances and accounts. Organizations can now
track AWS credentials everywhere they're created - as they're created
- and speed up the on-boarding process for these unmanaged account.
-
Automated Privileged Exploit Detection and Response: CyberArk
raises the bar for threat
detection and response in the cloud with the ability to send
prioritized alerts on potentially risky behavior such as activities
that bypass the vault, Access Key theft or mismanagement. Only
CyberArk is also able to quickly take control over these risky
accounts by initiating an automatic Access Key re-creation or rotation
to dramatically improve risk mitigation.
-
Simplified Deployment in AWS Environments: Expanding existing
capabilities for securing cloud infrastructure, customers can
now streamline the deployment of the CyberArk Privileged Access
Security Solution to AWS with AMIs for all core components including
vaulting, session management and threat analytics. This advancement
makes it easier than ever to align privileged access security with digital
transformation initiatives.
-
Just-in-Time Access with Flexible Provisioning Options:
Building on CyberArk's Just-in-Time
provisional access to Windows servers, this release features a new
ability for the administrator to configure the amount of access time
granted to Windows systems, whether cloud-based or on-premises. This
enables organizations to significantly reduce operational friction for
end-users and mitigate the risk of unfettered privileged access.
This release extends CyberArk's technology leadership with the most
comprehensive range of options to implement privileged access controls,
from accounts secured with Just-in-Time access to those that are fully
managed with complete audit by the CyberArk Privileged Access Security
Solution from on-premises to the cloud.
"Security leaders are facing a dramatic increase in speed along two
dimensions - the ability to spin up new and potentially vulnerable
accounts in the cloud and the time it takes attackers to gain command
and control once they've gained a foothold in an environment," said Nir
Gertner, chief security strategist, CyberArk. "Speed is critical and
security leaders who leverage automation and intelligence will have more
success protecting their organizations under these conditions. CyberArk
delivers the industry's most complete solution for managing
privileged-related risk across hybrid environments while removing
operational hurdles."
