The alliance between CyberArk and Wiz brings in secured cloud based identity and access solutions to enterprises & organizations
CyberArk, one of the leading identity and access management solution providers, has partnered with a well-known cloud security company named Wiz for enabling enterprise customers to strengthen their multi-cloud security posture with best-in-class visibility and control over privileged human and machine access. This collaboration effects an integration between the CyberArk identity security platform and the Wiz cloud security platform.
“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,” says 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,” adds Hinton.
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.
“We’re thrilled to partner with CyberArk to help customers secure human and machine identities in the cloud,” comments 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,” adds Noah.
The users of CyberArk and Wiz products & solutions are equally thrilled by this new alliance forged. “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,” says “Tony DeAngelo, CISO, Encova Insurance.
“The integration of Wiz and CyberArk is a gamechanger for our enterprise customers. Now, companies can effectively mitigate cloud access risks and increase their security resilience while benefiting from more efficient identity management,” says Hauke Moritz, Solution Manager for Cloud Security at Computacenter, a leading independent technology and services provider.
