CyberArk<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ:\u00a0CYBR<\/a>), the global leader in\u00a0privileged access management<\/a>, today announced it has acquired Santa Clara, California-based IDaptive Holdings, Inc. (Idaptive). Together,\u00a0CyberArk and Idaptive<\/a>\u00a0will deliver the industry\u2019s only modern identity platform with a security-first approach.<\/p>\n

As organizations move IT resources to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and accelerate automation and\u00a0digital transformation<\/a>\u00a0initiatives, the number of\u00a0privileged credentials<\/a>\u00a0associated with human, application and machine identities continues to grow exponentially. And so do the risks. In modern IT environments, all identities can become privileged under certain conditions, based on the systems, environments, applications or data they are accessing, or the types of operations they are performing.<\/p>\n

A traditional approach to access management is often not enough to prevent unauthorized\u00a0activity. Today, users of all types are provisioned\u00a0some form of\u00a0privileged\u00a0access<\/a>, exposing critical systems and creating pathways for threat actors to execute increasingly targeted\u00a0attacks. Compromised and weak credentials are reported\u00a0as the cause for more than 80% of data breaches.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\"Cyberark<\/p>\n

This\u00a0new reality requires a\u00a0new kind of Identity Security platform.<\/p>\n

Through the acquisition, CyberArk and Idaptive will deliver a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based, security-first approach to managing identities that is adaptive and context-aware, and architected on the principles of Zero Trust and least privilege access, to dramatically reduce risk. CyberArk will extend its ability to manage and protect identities with various levels of privileges across\u00a0hybrid and multi-cloud environments<\/a>, enabling customers to improve their overall security posture with a more efficient and seamless user experience, and address ever-increasing and complex regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n

Idaptive is\u00a0recognized as a leader<\/a>\u00a0by industry analyst firms for capabilities including:<\/p>\n
