CyberArk Technology Recognized as Innovative
for Ability to Detect Privileged Credential Vulnerabilities
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the company that protects organizations
from cyber attacks that have made their way inside the network
perimeter, today announced it was recently awarded another patent
(U.S. Patent 9,386,044) by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for
innovative security risk detection technology. This patent follows
a previously granted patent (U.S. Patent 9,185,136) and
demonstrates CyberArk’s expertise in detecting the risks that make
cyber attacks possible in organizational networks.
The patent for correlation-based security risk identification
covers methods and systems to map risks arising from credentials,
especially privileged credentials, present on machines in the
network that, once compromised, enable attackers to access and
compromise other machines in the network.
CyberArk has implemented this innovative technology in the
CyberArk Discovery and Audit (DNA) tool. CyberArk DNA is a valuable
tool for security practitioners to quantify privileged account
security-related risks and gain visibility into the vulnerable
attack surface that exists within enterprise environments.
Once compromised by an attacker, privileged credentials can
enable lateral movement to other machines in the network. Using
CyberArk DNA, organizations can identify specific security risks,
such as those associated with Pass-the-Ticket and Pass-the-Hash
attacks, and visualize how attackers could abuse credentials and
associated access rights to operate in the network.
CyberArk DNA is a free tool that enables organizations to
complete risk assessment audits to:
- Discover where privileged accounts
exist on their networks;
- Clearly assess privileged account
security risks;
- Identify privileged credentials
including SSH keys, embedded and hard-coded credentials, and
password hashes;
- Collect reliable and comprehensive
audit information to better lock down these powerful accounts and
secure their networks.
“CyberArk continues to make strong investments in product
research and development, with this latest patent reinforcing the
importance of innovation for detecting risks and potential abuse of
privileged credentials,” said Andrey Dulkin, director of cyber
innovation at CyberArk Labs. “Incorporating these technologies into
CyberArk DNA has a direct impact on helping organizations
understand the risks associated with unmanaged credentials, with
risk mapping as an important first step to establishing a proactive
privileged account security program.”
Research by CyberArk Labs found that, on average, 40 percent of
network machines can provide cyber attackers with credentials
enabling them to start an attack that could compromise an
organization’s entire network. To learn more, download the

Credential Theft Attacks.”
