Cyber-Ark and IDC Co-Host Webinar on Privileged Identity Management

Technology Innovator Cyber-Ark Joins IDC's Sally Hudson to Provide Latest Insight on Managing Privileged User Accounts and Meeting GRC Requirements

NEWTON, MA - July 28, 2008 - Cyber-Ark® Software, the leading provider of digital vault and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) solutions, today announced the availability of a Webinar highlighting how organizations can secure and manage non-personal and privileged identities to help meet governance, risk and compliance (GRC) requirements. Entitled "Privileged Identity Management," the Webcast features Sally Hudson, research director for IDC's Security Products and Services group, and Barak Feldman, senior system engineer at Cyber-Ark.

Increasingly, IT organizations have been forced to publicly acknowledge the unsettling truth that risk associated with insider threats far exceeds that of outsider threats. Enterprise organizations must look at PIM as an essential step in achieving and maintaining overall health in governance, risk, and compliance, as well as an integral source of the security within organizations on a continual basis.

This complimentary Webinar is designed to educate organizations about how PIM platforms can allow them to more easily meet compliance and audit requirements as they build out their identity and access management (IAM) architecture and strategy. Topics that are covered include:

• A historical background and positioning of PIM in the Identity and Access Management (IAM) Ecosystem
• The top password security risk and insider threat that most companies face today
• Key components of IAM and PIM
• The potential liabilities of admin, root and application-script identities
• Making generic, privileged accounts "auditable"
• A robust technology and solution for securing and managing the identities of all privileged users across an enterprise

"We are excited to have this opportunity to present our technology and our company alongside such a well-respected member of the analyst community," said Adam Bosnian, VP of Products, Strategy and Sales at Cyber-Ark Software. "The identity management field is growing rapidly, and with that growth we've seen an increased demand for our products and greater interest how PIM leads to greater security and GRC. Education about the problems of identity and security in the enterprise has always been a high priority for Cyber-Ark, and we appreciate this chance to share our knowledge with a wide range of professionals in the field."
