CyberArk has established itself as the market leader in privileged access management (PAM) since its founding in 1999. With US headquarters in Newton, Massachusetts and global offices including the original base in Israel, CyberArk protects privileged credentials that provide the keys to organizations' most critical systems and data. The company serves over half of the Fortune 500 and has evolved from vault-based credential storage to comprehensive identity security.
The company's Identity Security Platform includes Privileged Access Manager (vault and session management), Endpoint Privilege Manager (local admin rights control), Secrets Manager (application credentials), and identity governance capabilities. Their CORA AI technology provides context-aware access decisions and threat detection across the privileged access landscape. CyberArk's solutions secure both human privileged users (admins, DevOps) and machine identities (service accounts, API keys, certificates).
CyberArk differentiates through deep focus on privileged access - a critical attack vector in most breaches. Their platform addresses the complete lifecycle of privileged access including discovery, securing, rotating, and monitoring credentials. The company has strong integration with cloud platforms, DevOps tools, and enterprise applications. CyberArk's research team (CyberArk Labs) publishes findings on privileged access threats. Multiple Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader recognitions validate their market position.
