CyberArk Secures Digital Transformation in the Cloud
May 2017 by Marc Jacob
CyberArk announced cloud automation capabilities that enable customers to protect against advanced security threats in dynamic cloud environments. CyberArk’s cloud automation capabilities incorporate the CyberArk AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) and AWS CloudFormation templates that are specifically optimized for AWS environments.
Today’s announcement builds on existing CyberArk cloud security capabilities, including an integration with Amazon Inspector to simplify the discovery and prioritization of privileged account risk, enhanced AWS Access Key protection, as well as support for AWS Security Token Service to allow secure single sign-on to the AWS Management Console.
Security in a Cloud-First World
Enterprises, especially those adopting cloud-first strategies to transform their business, increasingly recognize that it is their responsibility to secure their applications and other assets in the cloud. Enterprises migrating to the cloud also want an easy way to consistently enforce security policies – on-premises, in the cloud and across DevOps pipelines.
The CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution enables protection of cloud assets at each stage of an organization’s cloud journey. CyberArk delivers a complete solution to help secure privileged user and application credentials used to manage public cloud vendors’ management consoles, configure virtual infrastructure, enable applications to connect with sensitive assets, and dynamically scale elastic production environments – all critical to effective enterprise cloud security strategies.
For example, to meet increasing business demands while reducing costs, a European-based financial services organization recently selected CyberArk to help support its strategy to evolve from a hybrid architecture model to being fully deployed in the cloud. The organization uses CyberArk to manage privileged access to the AWS Management Console, which in turn manages the full CyberArk environment on AWS.
Solution Details and Availability:
With its flexible, modular architecture, the CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution enables customers to start securing privileged accounts in as little as 15 minutes. The CyberArk solution was designed to meet a broad range of enterprise architectures, workflows and integrations focusing on quick time to value. The standard deployment architecture utilizes AWS privileged account security best practices. The CyberArk AMIs are available now, contact CyberArk sales to learn more.
