In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, cybersecurity isn’t just about restriction—it’s about enabling trust at the speed of innovation. Every login, session, and connection represents both opportunity and risk. Modern access management must be seamless, adaptive, and invisible to users, while still providing robust security.

CyberArk’s recognition as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Access Management underscores its role in challenging the status quo. By uniting access, privilege, and identity security in a single intelligent platform, CyberArk empowers organizations to secure every identity—human or machine—across cloud and hybrid environments without disrupting workflows.

What sets a challenger apart?

• Listening to customers and addressing real-world security challenges.

• Bridging legacy systems and modern cloud applications with intelligence and automation.

• Transforming access and identity security into a proactive, business-enabling function.

Key capabilities of CyberArk’s Identity Security Platform:

• Unified MFA, SSO, lifecycle management, and adaptive policies.

• Just-in-time (JIT) and least privilege access for all identities.

• Passwordless authentication for smoother, more secure user experiences.

• AI-driven monitoring for anomalous activity and dynamic risk-based adjustments.

• Simplified compliance and improved visibility across the enterprise.

By combining access and privilege management, CyberArk reduces identity silos, strengthens defenses, and delivers measurable return on security investment. As threats evolve, the platform helps organizations stay secure, adaptive, and ahead of risk.

Takeaway: Security today requires a challenger mindset—questioning legacy approaches, innovating continuously, and embracing adaptive solutions that secure every identity in an ever-expanding digital ecosystem.
