Finally, CyberArk Software, Ltd. (NASDAQ:CYBR), ended its last trade with -1.12% loss, and closed at $62.66.
On June 2, CyberArk Software declared an independent study from Nucleus Research on customer return on investment (ROI). The report found that the CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution reduced customers’ cyber security risk profile by protecting against advanced threats that exploit privileged accounts and that customers can achieve complete payback within six months or less and gain greater ROI as the CyberArk platform is used over time.
While many organizations focus on individual end-user password security, the Nucleus report confirms that privileged account security is a critical aspect of protecting against advanced threats. Privileged credentials provide access to and control of systems, networking devices, applications and databases. These credentials are often shared by many administrators and IT staffers, making it challenging to systematically manage credentials, efficiently audit privileged account usage and determine malicious use. This is a primary reason why privileged accounts are exploited in nearly all noteworthy cyber attacks.
“Unsecured privileged accounts are one of the most critical security vulnerabilities in any organization,” said Rebecca Wettemann, Vice President of Research, Nucleus Research. “We found that many IT staffs still depend on home-built applications or spreadsheets to manage these accounts. As we’ve seen with recent high-profile breaches, this is a recipe for disaster. Not only is it a waste of time and resources, it’s an open invitation for an attacker to commandeer a company’s infrastructure. CyberArk eliminates these security risks and administrative burdens, all while providing customers with an incredible ROI.”
CyberArk Software Ltd. develops, markets, and sells software-based IT security solutions that protect organizations from cyber attacks in the United States and internationally. The company offers privileged account security solution to secure, manage, and monitor privileged account access and activities.
