CyberArk Named an Overall Leader in the KuppingerCole Analysts 2025 Leadership Compass for Enterprise Secrets Management
The report examines solutions that provide secrets lifecycle management for humans, workloads and devices – and evaluates the capabilities of these solutions to meet the needs of organizations to monitor, assess and manage secrets-related risks. According to the report, “The proliferation of APIs, microservices, and automated workflows has created an exponential growth in machine identities, far outpacing human users. Organizations face challenges managing these identities securely, as traditional secrets management practices are often inadequate.” KuppingerCole notes that, “What sets CyberArk apart is its approach to identity security, closing gaps between machine and human identity management. Its strengths lie in its broad integrations, centralized management, and automated governance.”
The AI-powered CyberArk Identity Security Platform enables organizations to secure all identities – human, AI and machine – with the right level of privilege controls. Following CyberArk’s recent acquisition of Venafi, the company has combined CyberArk’s industry-leading Identity Security solutions with Venafi’s best-in-class Machine Identity Management solutions to establish the world’s most complete Machine Identity Security solutions portfolio spanning secrets management, certificate lifecycle management and workload identity security. The new, combined portfolio now features the broadest spectrum of solutions to help security teams prepare for emerging machine identity challenges such as reduced certificate lifespans, quantum computing and agentic AI:
- Secure All Secrets Solution – Centralizes secrets management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments to reduce the risk of secret leaks, improve efficiency, ensure compliance and simplify the enforcement of security policies.
- Secure Certificates and PKI Solution – Automates certificate lifecycle management to prevent outages, streamline PKI and improve resiliency.
- Secure Secrets and Certificates Within CSPs Solution – Centrally discovers and manages certificates and secrets natively within cloud service providers to reduce risk, prevent outages and improve cloud security for machine identities.
- Secure Workload Access Solution – Secures every workload with its own identity to eliminate credential exposure and ensure secure, scalable access across all environments.
“We are proud to be named an Overall Leader in Enterprise Secrets Management by KuppingerCole. This is a true testament to our vision and continued commitment to delivering the industry’s most powerful, comprehensive Identity Security platform to our customers,” says Kurt Sand, GM of Machine Identity Security at CyberArk. “As the volume and complexity of machine identities continue to multiply amid the rise of AI and increased cloud adoption – with machine identities today outnumbering human identities by 82 to 1 – it is more critical now than ever for organizations to develop a unified approach to securing all machine identities. CyberArk is dedicated to helping organizations do this effectively across all machine identity types and all environments with our proven Identity Security Platform.”
