New Integrations with Atos, Phantom, Proofpoint and RSA Enable
Customers to Drive More Effective Security and Value from Existing IT
Investments
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 22, 2017--
CyberArk
(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the company that protects organizations from cyber
attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced the expansion of the C3 Alliance, CyberArk’s global
technology partner program. Extending the power of privileged
account security through new partners and technology integrations,
customers can better protect against advanced
threats through a deeper set of innovative cyber security solutions.
New C3
Alliance partners and integrations include Atos, Datablink, DB
Networks, DBmaestro, EZMCOM, Flexera Software, Gemalto, Hexadite,
Illusive Networks, Omada, OneLogin, Palo Alto Networks, Phantom,
Proofpoint, Qualys, Radiant Logic, RSA, STEALTHbits Technologies,
SyferLock, Thales, Utimaco, Vistara and Yubico.
Launched in April 2016, the C3 Alliance was established to
bring enterprise software, IT security and services providers together
in order to deliver proactive protection, detection and response to
customers by putting privileged
account security at the core of their cyber security strategies. The
program now has 45 partners and features 63 product integrations to
increase the value of existing IT investments and improve security
across enterprise priorities associated with cloud,
identity security, application security and endpoint.
“Because there is no silver bullet in security, CISOs are increasingly
focusing on the value of an integrated security stack. The C3
Alliance helps drive value across existing IT investments through
strategic integrations that take advantage of automation and the ability
to streamline processes and data sharing,” said Adam Bosnian, executive
vice president, global business development, CyberArk. “The escalation
of damaging cyber attacks requires new levels of vendor collaboration.
This is why the C3 Alliance continues to expand and
prioritize vendor integration and alignment around privileged account
security and data for more effective cyber security.”
Unmanaged Service Accounts, Application Security and the Attacker
Opportunity
Organizations need to be better able to adapt to emerging cyber threats
with proactive and responsive controls, especially those aimed at
protecting privileged
credential vulnerabilities that exist across applications and the IT
security stack.
Extensive service account usage by commercial off-the-shelf and
internally-developed applications, including identity and access
management, DevOps,
IT management, asset discovery and vulnerability scanning applications,
creates a significant attack surface of unmanaged privileged
credentials. Yet, awareness of this application
security risk is disproportionately low, even though it may pose one
the largest enterprise cyber security vulnerabilities.
Many of the newest C3 Alliance members and integrations focus
on addressing the challenge of managing service accounts and privileged
application credentials to better protect enterprise-class and SaaS
applications that are critical to regular business operations and
incident response.
“The interoperability between RSA® Identity Governance and
Lifecycle and the CyberArk solution began as a centralized management
approach for governing, managing and provisioning all user identities,
including privileged identities and access entitlements,” said Jim
Ducharme, vice president of Identity Products, RSA. “Today, we are
expanding the interoperability with CyberArk to secure the privileged
credentials used by RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle to securely
access target systems, such as servers and databases, to collect data
and report for compliance and risk management across the enterprise and
the cloud to deliver on the benefits of business-driven security.”
“Qualys’ integration with the CyberArk Privileged Account Security
Solution helps customers using the Qualys Cloud Platform to simplify
password management for authenticated scans across dynamic environments
at large scale,” said Sumedh Thakar, chief product officer, Qualys, Inc.
“By securely and centrally managing credentials for hybrid environments
with a mix of cloud, on-premises and virtualized assets, organizations
can automate scanning, increase accuracy and reduce compliance costs.”
“The Phantom security automation and orchestration platform connects
in-house and third-party systems to help security operations gain better
insight into potential threats across the IT environment, then reduce
the time necessary to detect and respond,” Robert Truesdell, director of
product management, Phantom. “Phantom apps require privileged
credentials to access these systems and that powerful access must be
managed and controlled in a consistent, scalable way. That's where our
integration with CyberArk becomes so valuable. As our platform continues
to expand, we have to be able to centralize the management and security
of these privileged application accounts to reduce the attack surface
and keep credentials synchronized.”
C3 Alliance Drives Channel Opportunities
C3 Alliance members typically integrate with the CyberArk
Privileged Account Security Solution. These integrations have
expanded opportunities for reseller and system integration partners that
can help customers further maximize existing IT investments by driving
additional value and insight.
“Managing service accounts across multiple technologies continues to be
a challenge that our clients face,” said Serafino Napoleone, director,
Cyber Risk Services at Deloitte. “With expanding C3 Alliance
integration capabilities, our clients are now able to automate and
strengthen the Identity and Access Management controls on their existing
technologies and platforms, while simultaneously benefitting from
increased privileged account security and reduced vulnerability to cyber
attacks.”
“Integrating privileged account security capabilities from CyberArk with
other key technologies, such as identity and access governance, allows
us to differentiate our business through high-value security services,”
said Arun Kothanath, chief security strategist, DIT/Clango, Inc. “We
view the C3 Alliance as a tremendous opportunity to deliver
an expanding set of innovative solutions to our customers. These
solutions help them prioritize privilege as part of their cyber security
strategies, such as the ability to centrally manage all identities to
mitigate risks and support compliance.”
