Overview

CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is a comprehensive solution designed to modernize privileged access management (PAM) programs. It addresses the challenges of securing high-risk access across diverse IT environments, including on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. The software helps organizations reduce the risks associated with privileged access by implementing best-in-class PAM from a single, unified platform. A key benefit is the elimination of standing privileges and vaulted credentials, significantly enhancing security. CyberArk PAM allows for the automated discovery of accounts, credentials, IAM roles, and secrets across various environments, enabling secure, policy-based management within a tamper-proof Digital Vault. Automated credential rotation enhances security and streamlines processes. The solution offers both SaaS (Software as a Service) and self-hosted deployment options, providing flexibility to meet specific organizational and regulatory needs. CyberArk's proven Blueprint has successfully secured thousands of customer environments. The SaaS option includes automated upgrades and patches, a high SLA for uptime, and hands-on guidance. Self-hosted deployments offer control and on-site management, with easy migration to SaaS as needed. The software supports multi-region deployments for scalability and includes a marketplace for integrations.
