New Capabilities Mitigate Risk of Privileged
Amazon Web Services Account Exploitation and Deliver Unparalleled
Just-in-Time Access Across Hybrid Environments
RSA Conference (Booth #6253 North) -- CyberArk (NASDAQ:
CYBR), the global leader in privileged access security, today
announced ground-breaking new capabilities to simplify the
continuous discovery and protection of privileged accounts in cloud
environments. The CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution
v10.8 is the first-of-its-kind to automate detection, alerting and
response for unmanaged and potentially-risky Amazon Web Services
(AWS) accounts. This version also features new industry-leading
Just-in-Time capabilities that deliver flexible user access to
cloud-based or on-premises Windows systems.
According to Gartner, “risk management cannot be just a reactive
process (discovering excessive risk after it has been created).
Digital business risks can be discovered, anticipated, predicted
and assessed with risk-prioritized pre-emptive actions taken to
change the organization’s security and risk posture.”1
With the new v10.8 release, the CyberArk Privileged Access
Security Solution sets a new standard by delivering the industry’s
most comprehensive approach to security and operational efficiency
in the cloud through:
- Continuous Privileged Account
Discovery: Further advancing its cloud security capabilities,
including the automatic onboarding of AWS instances, CyberArk now
offers the only privileged access security solution that identifies
privileged accounts in AWS – such as unmanaged Identity and Access
Management (IAM) users (including Shadow Admins), and EC2 instances
and accounts. Organizations can now track AWS credentials
everywhere they’re created – as they’re created – and speed up the
on-boarding process for these unmanaged accounts.
- Automated Privileged Exploit
Detection and Response: CyberArk raises the bar for threat
detection and response in the cloud with the ability to send
prioritized alerts on potentially risky behavior such as activities
that bypass the vault, Access Key theft or mismanagement. Only
CyberArk is also able to quickly take control over these risky
accounts by initiating an automatic Access Key re-creation or
rotation to dramatically improve risk mitigation.
- Simplified Deployment in AWS
Environments: Expanding existing capabilities for securing
cloud infrastructure, customers can now streamline the deployment
of the CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution to AWS with
AMIs for all core components including vaulting, session management
and threat analytics. This advancement makes it easier than ever to
align privileged access security with digital transformation
initiatives.
- Just-in-Time Access with Flexible
Provisioning Options: Building on CyberArk’s Just-in-Time
provisional access to Windows servers, this release features a new
ability for the administrator to configure the amount of access
time granted to Windows systems, whether cloud-based or
on-premises. This enables organizations to significantly reduce
operational friction for end-users and mitigate the risk of
unfettered privileged access.
This release extends CyberArk’s technology leadership with the
most comprehensive range of options to implement privileged access
controls, from accounts secured with Just-in-Time access to those
that are fully managed with complete audit by the CyberArk
Privileged Access Security Solution from on-premises to the
cloud.
“Security leaders are facing a dramatic increase in speed along
two dimensions – the ability to spin up new and potentially
vulnerable accounts in the cloud and the time it takes attackers to
gain command and control once they’ve gained a foothold in an
environment,” said Nir Gertner, chief security strategist,
CyberArk. “Speed is critical and security leaders who leverage
automation and intelligence will have more success protecting their
organizations under these conditions. CyberArk delivers the
industry’s most complete solution for managing privileged-related
risk across hybrid environments while removing operational
hurdles.”
