Aim to secure workloads across every environment
CyberArk recently announced the availability of CyberArk Secure Workload Access Solution, delivering the industry’s most comprehensive protection for all non-human identities that matter.
The solution will enable security teams to gain visibility and control over the entire machine identity lifecycle, from creation and governance to automated rotation and renewal, according to a press release.
Machine identities proliferate in cloud-native architectures, including applications, workloads, and automated processes. Unlike solutions focusing on singular machine identity types, CyberArk’s layered approach will enable organizations to enforce the least privilege, mitigate risk, and prevent credential-based attacks for all workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Workload authentication
In addition, CyberArk has extended its discovery and context capabilities, designed to help security teams take the first steps to modernize workload authentication by assessing, understanding and eliminating risks tied to unprotected machine identities.
“Modern, cloud and ephemeral workloads mean authentication can be fragmented, making access control challenging and resulting in a large, unprotected attack surface that dramatically increases the risk of breaches,” stated Kurt Sand, GM, Machine Identity Security at CyberArk.
The core of the Secure Workload Access Solution is CyberArk Workload Identity Manager. This lightweight, distributed, and cloud-native machine identity issuer goes beyond traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems that cannot scale to the needs of ephemeral cloud workloads.
The new solution will integrate Workload Identity Manager with CyberArk Secrets Manager, enabling secure access for all workloads as cloud-native and containerized environments grow.
