CyberArk and Wiz Team Up To Provide Complete Visibility and Control for Cloud-Created Identities

Cloud-native organizations to gain full
understanding over every identity in the cloud, secured with Zero
Standing Privileges and at cloud velocity
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in identity security,
today announced a high-impact partnership with leading cloud
security provider Wiz. The two companies are joining forces to
enable customers to strengthen their multi-cloud security posture
with best-in-class visibility and control over privileged human and
machine access, without impacting the speed and scale of cloud
development. A central component of the partnership is an
integration between the CyberArk Identity Security Platform and the
Wiz Cloud Security Platform, available to customers
immediately.
Cloud-native organizations with extensive multi-cloud
environments are facing rapidly changing new environments and
exponentially more identities, creating circumstances that are
challenging for traditional security approaches. The lack of
visibility and inability to manage the privileged access that
developers often grant themselves results in greater vulnerability,
risk and compliance issues.
“Organizations like Encova have thousands of entitlements and
permissions across their cloud environments. Visibility of
excessive permissions and the extent of privileged access in these
environments is often difficult to ascertain, creating not only
unquantified security risk but also operational inefficiencies,”
said Tony DeAngelo, CISO at Encova Insurance. “The Wiz and CyberArk
integration is a positive step that will allow security teams to
gain insight into risky cloud access and use that knowledge to
enhance identity security for IT, CloudOps, developer and machine
identities, which are often highly privileged.”
“The integration of Wiz and CyberArk is a gamechanger for our
enterprise customers,” said Hauke Moritz, Solution Manager for
Cloud Security at Computacenter, a leading independent technology
and services provider. “Larger organizations manage a multitude of
development projects with numerous identities and entitlements
distributed across hybrid cloud environments. Gaining clear
visibility into the scope of privileged access, the surplus of
entitlements and enforcing proper security controls are critical
for reducing risk and preventing security incidents. Now, companies
can effectively mitigate cloud access risks and increase their
security resilience while benefiting from more efficient identity
management.”
By combining Wiz’s capabilities for discovering toxic
combinations of critical risks and misconfigured cloud access with
CyberArk’s capabilities for implementing Zero Standing Privileges,
cloud security teams can measurably reduce the risk of unauthorized
access and rapidly satisfy audit and compliance requirements. As
part of the partnership, CyberArk is joining the Wiz Integration
Network (WIN), and Wiz is joining the CyberArk C3 Alliance.
“We are thrilled to partner with CyberArk to help customers
secure human and machine identities in the cloud,” said Oron Noah,
VP, Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. “By combining
Wiz’s ability to analyze cloud entitlements with CyberArk’s ability
to enforce dynamic privilege controls to all identities, we are
enabling our customers to scale their cloud operations while
ensuring that privileged access is identified and fully controlled
across their multi-cloud environments.”
“Cloud development is a primary driver of vast numbers of new
human and machine identities that are being created every day, by
different siloes within the organization and with differing – often
unmanaged – permissions and access levels,” said Clarence Hinton,
Chief Strategy Officer at CyberArk. “For security teams to keep up,
there is a need to rethink our approach to how these identities are
discovered and secured so that this significant attack surface is
understood and can be acted on. Together, CyberArk and Wiz provide
this visibility, securing every identity in the cloud with Zero
Standing Privileges and at cloud velocity.”
