CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution Achieves Additional
Federal Government Milestone, Enables Customers to More Easily Address
Critical Compliance and Risk Mitigation Requirements
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 8, 2016--
CyberArk
(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the company that protects organizations from cyber
attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced the CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution has received
the U.S. Army Certificate of Networthiness (Army CoN).
The U.S. Army Networthiness Program was created for compliance and risk
mitigation purposes and ensures that all IT purchases meet Federal
Department of Defense (DoD) and Army guidelines, regulations and
requirements. Following a thorough IT assessment, the Army CoN
recognizes that the CyberArk Privileged
Account Security Solution has been certified for use across the Army
Enterprise Infrastructure Network.
Federal
government agencies, departments and critical infrastructure are
frequent targets in today’s advanced attacks. The CyberArk Privileged
Account Security Solution is a proactive cyber security solution that
identifies and secures privileged accounts and credentials, including SSH
keys, and continuously monitors the use of those credentials to
identify and alert on anomalous activity in order to limit damage from
an external attack or insider threat. Addressing vulnerabilities in
Federal government’s critical infrastructure, CyberArk also helps
protect industrial
control systems (ICS) with cyber security capabilities aimed at
limiting the progression of malware, better identifying privileged
account-related risks and improving remote access security.
The Army CoN verifies compliance with stringent DoD and Army
requirements for security, sustainability and usability. The CoN is
based on a set of consistent, risk-based assessment criteria that
supports interoperability and reciprocity, making it easier for military
IT professionals from other participating enterprises to implement
CyberArk solutions.
This certification follows the addition of the CyberArk Privileged
Account Security Solution to the DoD Unified Capabilities Approved
Products List (UC
APL). CyberArk has the only comprehensive privileged
account security solution on the list, which identifies products
that have undergone a rigorous testing process conducted by the DoD that
assures acceptable levels of information assurance and interoperability
capabilities.
CyberArk was also granted Common
Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level EAL 2+ in 2015, further
demonstrating CyberArk’s commitment to helping Federal organizations and
global enterprises secure privileged accounts.
“Achieving the Army CoN is another significant milestone for CyberArk in
the Federal government sector, and one that makes it even easier for our
customers to implement solutions for privileged account protection and
threat detection as part of their advanced cyber security strategies,”
said Kevin Corbett, director of U.S. Federal Business at CyberArk. “With
the increasing intensity of cyber attacks targeting government data and
information, as well as critical infrastructure, CyberArk is committed
to continuing to decrease barriers for implementing solutions that help
safeguard against attacks – whether initiated by external threats or
insiders.”
