About CyberArk

CyberArk sells the Idira Identity Security Platform, which brings together modern privileged access management (PAM), machine identity security and agentic identity security.[12]

The page says that legacy identity solutions were built for yesterday's problems, when elevated privileges were reserved for a select few. Idira is presented as a platform that extends privilege control to every identity in order to minimize attack surface.[12]

Idira secures human, machine and agentic identities. The platform is described as a unified control plane that discovers risk, applies privilege dynamically and governs the full lifecycle from first access to final session. The pages say one part of the platform covers modern privileged access, endpoint and identity governance needs, another covers every machine identity from secrets to workloads, and another discovers, controls and governs agentic identities.[3][12]

On the human side, the pages say modern PAM provides discovery with continuous visibility and AI-driven analytics. It also provides dynamic privileged access that eliminates always-on standing privileges. A unified command center streamlines deployment through automation and embeds threat detection directly into privileged workflows.[3][12]

On the nonhuman side, the pages say machine and agentic identities are often referred to as nonhuman identities. The Idira platform includes discovery, risk analytics and modern secrets management, with governance and reporting for all vaults and workloads. Customer quotes on the pages mention Idira Privileged Access Manager, Idira Secrets Hub and Certificate Manager.[3][12]

For zero trust, the pages say the platform enforces least privilege and secures access for human, machine and agentic identities across any device. Privilege controls are used to grant access for just the right amount of time, and the platform continuously monitors threats so organizations can adjust controls based on risk.[12]

Idira is described as built on CyberArk's legacy and powered by Palo Alto Networks. Existing CyberArk customers can continue to use the platform as they always have, with a new logo and design. The pages say that over time customers will be able to use cross-platform capabilities across the Palo Alto Networks product portfolio.[2][12]

The pages name customers including an organization securing access to clinical resources for over 900 dental practices, a government services organization implementing PAM as a service, and an organization deploying Idira to centralize secrets and control vault sprawl.[12][13]
