Combines Powerful Analytics with Secure, Transparent Access and the
Ability to Quickly Alert on Risky Privilege-Related Activity
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CyberArk(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the global leader in privileged
access security, today announced CyberArk Privileged Session Manager
for Cloud. Through a transparent user experience, this new offering
extends privileged access session isolation, monitoring and control to
the most common web applications, cloud and social media platforms. As
part of an integrated solution, Privileged Session Manager for Cloud
also leverages industry-leading risk scoring capabilities to detect and
alert on suspicious privilege-related activity.
Cloud administrators and privileged business users often have elevated
rights to sensitive cloud
platforms and web applications, yet this access is not always
managed by the IT team. This allows users to operate outside of
corporate security, potentially exposing the entire organization to
unknown risks. An external attacker or malicious insider who is able to
hijack these types of user credentials could shut down cloud
environments, execute a total compromise of web applications or DevOps
tool consoles, steal sensitive customer data or post inflammatory
comments on social media.
“As organizations take advantage of the flexibility of hybrid cloud
computing, the agility and speed offered by DevOps methodologies, and
leading containerized platforms like Red Hat OpenShift,
cross-environment security monitoring is important,” said Chris Morgan,
director, Technical Marketing, Red Hat Cloud Platforms, Red Hat.
“CyberArk Privileged Session Manager for Cloud enables administrators
with web-based cloud and DevOps tool consoles to manage and administer
these dynamic and powerful environments while providing security teams
with more control and monitoring capabilities to help reduce risk.”
Innovative CyberArk
Privileged Session Manager for Cloud capabilities are based on
technology acquired from Vaultive. Part of the CyberArk Privileged
Access Security Solution, key features include:
-
Support for major cloud platforms and web applications: The new
offering will initially support major cloud (IaaS and PaaS) platforms,
SaaS applications and social media including Amazon Web Services
(AWS), Red Hat OpenShift, Salesforce.com and leading social media
applications - Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
-
Transparent access and faster connections: A completely
transparent user logon establishes secure connections to cloud
platforms and web applications 3X faster than traditional session
management solutions.
-
Isolated privileged sessions in the cloud: Privileged business
user and cloud administrator sessions are isolated, helping to ensure
that privileged
credentials are never revealed and are only used to establish
secure sessions.
-
Privileged session monitoring: Organizations can conduct
detailed audits of all privileged user activities within cloud
platforms and web applications, speeding digital forensics and
security investigations as well as providing support for compliance
and multiple industry regulations.
-
Privileged session risk scoring: Comprehensive risk
scoring on privileged sessions provides visibility into risky
operations performed by individual privileged users, enabling
organizations to detect and alert on high-risk activity, as well as
streamline and prioritize audit review cycle times based on risk. This
capability is enabled through a combination of powerful statistical,
deterministic algorithms, machine learning and behavioral analytics.
“With the rapid adoption of cloud-based resources, it’s no longer enough
to control privileged access to just on-premises resources,” said
Garrett Bekker, principal security analyst, 451 Research. “However, most
organizations are dealing with many separate security tools, most of
which have their own administration consoles. With the integration of
Vaultive, CyberArk can provide customers with the ability to manage
privileged access to both cloud and on-prem resources with a single
unified view. This improves the overall experience by letting users feel
as though they are operating in an app’s native environment, in the
process helping to limit ‘console fatigue.’”
“This launch demonstrates CyberArk’s ability to quickly integrate
Vaultive technology and rapidly deliver value to customers. CyberArk
Privileged Session Manager for Cloud supports customers’ digital
transformation initiatives and migration to the cloud, which are
impacting both business and mission critical applications,” said Ben
Matzkel, Vaultive founder and CTO, and currently R&D group manager,
CyberArk. “To support customers’ defense in depth strategies, it’s
vitally important to balance easy access to cloud platforms and web
applications with policy-driven access controls, security workflows, and
a consistent strategy across on-premises and cloud environments.”
