CyberArk Launches Advanced Privileged Session Management for Cloud

Business Wire
Combines Powerful Analytics with Secure,
Transparent Access and the Ability to Quickly Alert on Risky
Privilege-Related Activity
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.”
