CyberArk’s Integration with Amazon Inspector Simplifies Discovery and
Prioritization of Privileged Account Risk; Enhanced AWS Access Key
Protection Further Reduces Exposure to Advanced Threats
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVAH, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2017--
CyberArk
(NASDAQ:CYBR),
the company that protects organizations from cyber
attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced expanded privileged account security solutions for Amazon Web
Services (AWS) to help customers better protect against, detect and
respond to advanced
threats.
Many organizations already run at least part of their operations in the
cloud, while others are seeking to accelerate their migration strategies
- with industry research predicting that up to 80 percent of workloads
will run on a cloud architecture by 2024.1 Migrating from the
data center to the cloud introduces different cyber security
considerations, particularly associated with securing privileged
user and application credentials used to manage consoles, enable
applications to connect with sensitive assets, and dynamically scale
elastic production environments.
For enterprises
migrating to the cloud, CyberArk helps customers seamlessly extend
and consistently enforce the security policies they have in place today
on their on-premises infrastructure into their emerging cloud and DevOps
environments.
Prioritize Risk Reduction in AWS Environments
Customers and partners can now take advantage of CyberArk’s integrations
with multiple AWS services that both reduce and simplify the
prioritization of privilege-related
vulnerabilities:
-
Simplify the Discovery and Exposure of Privileged Credential Risk –
CyberArk Discovery and Audit (DNA) tool v7.1 simplifies the discovery
and reporting on privileged users, instances, credentials and keys in
the AWS environment. Specifically, CyberArk DNA scans and discovers
the AWS environment for Identity and Access Management (IAM) users,
AWS access keys and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Key
pairs to identify potential privilege-related risks, like unmanaged
SSH keys. The CyberArk
DNA integration with Amazon Inspector pulls data and findings,
such as the number of high severity findings on Amazon EC2 instances,
into a single CyberArk dashboard to alert and help security teams
visualize and prioritize risk mitigation.
-
Secure and Manage AWS Access Keys – Organizations can
automatically discover and secure privileged accounts in cloud-based
environments by proactively securing AWS Access Keys as well as
managing and rotating those keys based on their security and
compliance policy. AWS access keys are used by applications and
scripts for invoking AWS APIs. It is essential to remove them from
code and configuration files, and assure that they are rotated
periodically to avoid the potential for uncontrolled administrative
access.
When a leading provider of value-added services to telecommunication
operators and retailers in Latin America chose to move its data center
to AWS, it recognized the importance of ensuring privileged account
security was in place to protect its cloud assets from the beginning. It
chose to work with CyberArk to improve the process of managing security.
“CyberArk delivers flexible and secure protection for cloud-based
environments. These new capabilities provide greater confidence to
security teams that need to make sure privilege-related policies are
applied consistently across the enterprise and extended into their
enterprise AWS environment,” said Roy Adar, senior vice president,
product management, CyberArk. “CyberArk helps build privileged account
security into cloud environments from the beginning with automatic
provisioning and continuous visibility during cloud migration and
on-going management.”
Within organizations’ cloud environments, the rapid creation and
deletion of instances and their associated administrator accounts must
be closely managed. CyberArk can detect and rotate credentials based on
company policy, and monitor and record privileged access to deliver
greater visibility into the security of cloud assets. In addition to
AWS, CyberArk supports customers across multiple cloud environments
including AWS, Azure, Google, Alibaba, mixed, hybrid, on-premises and as
well as DevOps environments.
Availability
New AWS integrations and support are available now through the CyberArk
Discovery and Audit (DNA) tool v7.1 and CyberArk
Privileged Account Security Solution v9.8. CyberArk is an Amazon
Inspector Partner: https://aws.amazon.com/inspector.
CyberArk will demonstrate AWS integrations at RSA Conference 2017 in San
Francisco, February 13-16 at booth #N3209.
