Overview

"Cyber-Ark Software, Inc." is an information security company that develops and markets digital vaults, based on their patented Vaulting Technology, for securing and managing privileged passwords and identities, and sensitive information within and across enterprise networks. Cyber-Ark’s technology is deployed worldwide – primarily in the Financial Services, Energy, Retail , and Healthcare enterprises. Cyber-Ark is especially known for its Privileged Identity Management (PIM) technology.

Cyber-Ark is a venture-backed company. A list of its current investors includes Cabaret-ArbaOne, JVP Partners, and Vertex.

History & General Timeline

Cyber-Ark was founded in 1999 by Alon Cohen, Udi Mokady and a team of security technologists in Israel, who worked to develop the Digital Vault. The technology combines multiple layers of security which resides within an existing network perimeter and focuses around data itself, creating a central repository to share and store proprietary or confidential data. The Digital Vault was created to exist separately from the network, whether placed within or outside the infrastructure and serves as the foundation for all of Cyber-Ark’s following technology products.

In April 2006 Cyber-Ark’s Digital Vaulting platform was tested by ICSA Labs and verified as a secure, encrypted file storage and sharing environment.

On July 9, 2006, Cyber-Ark expanded its European presence by opening a new UK headquarters in London. Later that year, on December 21, the Company moved its corporate headquarters to Newton, MA.

On January 30, 2007, Cyber-Ark co-founded the PCI Security Vendor Alliance along with seven other companies to educate U.S. companies on the compliance regulation and technology tools for compliance.

In May 2007 Cyber-Ark releases its first Annual IT Snooping survey, which revealed that one in three IT employees snoop through company systems and confidential data using privileged passwords[1].

On April 28, 2008, Cyber-Ark’s Enterprise Password Vault was named the winner of Network World magazine’s first “Clear Choice Test” for Privileged Account Management products[2].

On June 30, 2008, Forrester Research listed Cyber-Ark as having the largest customer base in its class in the Privileged User Management Market report.

In August 2008, the Second Annual IT Snooping Survey was released by Cyber-Ark. The results revealed that 88 percent of IT employees would steal confidential data before exiting the company[3].
