Secure Access for IT Admins: Secure Every Identity, Everywhere
Enable your IT admins to enforce least-privilege security with Zero Standing Privileges and Just-in-Time access, all powered by the CyberArk Identity Security Platform.
CHALLENGES
Modern challenges for securing IT admins, in every environment
Address the evolving complexities of securing identities in dynamic, multi-cloud environments.
Persistent privileges expand attack surfaces
Static credentials and standing privileges increase risk, especially with the growing use of AI workflows. CyberArk reduces these risks with Zero Standing Privileges and Just-in-Time access.
Fragmented governance increases risk
Integrated governance ensures consistent policy enforcement and comprehensive auditability across all privileged access methods.
Balancing efficiency with security demands
IT teams often face delays due to manual approvals and fragmented tools. CyberArk streamlines workflows with automated, secure access, boosting productivity without compromising security.
Meeting audit and compliance requirements
Evolving regulations demand strict controls and detailed reporting for privileged access. CyberArk supports continuous compliance with automated policy enforcement and comprehensive audit trails.
SOLUTIONS
Unified approach for securing every identity, in every environment
Empowering secure, efficient access for all infrastructure and environments.
Automated privilege discovery
Continuously uncover unmanaged privileged accounts, credentials, and secrets across IT environments. Automatically onboard them to reduce hidden risks and ensure consistent security policies.
Zero Standing Privileges and Just-in-Time Access
Eliminate standing access risks by default. Dynamically grant time-bound, auditable permissions only when needed, ensuring secure workflows, reduced attack surfaces, and compliance alignment.
Streamline session management to infrastructure
Isolate and monitor privileged sessions across all infrastructure, including servers, databases, and cloud environments. Enforce least privilege, record activity, and ensure full auditability to protect critical systems.
Integrated credential management
Simplify operations with centralized secrets management. Securely manage credentials across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with automated rotation and consistent policy enforcement.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions on the Secure IT Admin Access solution
CyberArk eliminates standing privileges by dynamically provisioning access only when needed (JIT) and revoking it immediately after use (ZSP). This minimizes the attack surface and reduces standing privileges by up to 60%.
CyberArk automates compliance by enforcing least privilege, credential rotation, and session monitoring. Our soluition provides evidence-ready reporting aligned with frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and more, reducing audit preparation time and ensuring adherence to evolving regulations. The Identity Security Platform is built with compliance in mind, holding certifications including SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO 27001. Detailed audit trails and session recordings across all environments ensure seamless transitions for compliance and audit teams.
Migration delivers reduced Total Cost of Ownership by eliminating dedicated hardware, database maintenance, and complex upgrade cycles. CyberArk manages platform security and availability through a shared responsibility model, freeing your team to focus on strategic security initiatives. You also gain automatic access to the latest capabilities—including ZSP, JIT, discovery, and threat detection—without waiting for manual upgrades.
CyberArk embeds governance directly into privileged access workflows, providing centralized policy definition, lifecycle management, and comprehensive auditability across human and machine identities. Session recording, command-level logging, and automated reporting help organizations satisfy regulatory requirements—including PCI DSS, SOX, SOC 2, HIPAA, DORA, NIS 2, and NERC-CIP—without treating governance as a separate, siloed process.
CyberArk treats every identity—human, machine, or AI—as potentially privileged. For machines and workloads, CyberArk issues short-lived, SPIFFE-aligned identities that replace static secrets and integrate natively with cloud APIs. For AI agents, CyberArk assigns transient, auditable identities tied back to the requesting user, enforces least-privilege policies, and records all AI-assisted sessions with the same rigor as direct human access.
Yes. CyberArk enables organizations to run traditional and modern access models side-by-side. For accounts requiring standing access—such as built-in or root accounts—vaulting and rotation remain essential. For new cloud-native projects and dynamic workloads, JIT and ZSP can be applied to reduce friction and risk. This dual approach lets organizations modernize at their own pace without “rip and replace” disruption.
CyberArk provides a unified platform that enforces consistent least-privilege controls across on-premises, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and SaaS environments. Rather than managing separate tools for each environment, organizations apply one policy model that governs shared accounts, federated roles, RDP, SSH, database, Kubernetes, and SaaS admin access together, with a single audit trail regardless of where access occurs.
CyberArk uniquely combines trusted PAM foundations with modern access models like JIT and ZSP. Our solution secures all identities—human, machine, and AI—under one unified platform, providing consistent policies, comprehensive visibility, and seamless scalability across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Migration is a managed process led by CyberArk Services using a proven four-phase methodology: Prepare, Deploy, Transfer, and Optimize. Data replication from DR vaults ensures zero impact on production environments, and the Privilege Cloud Migration Tool provides secure, end-to-end encrypted data transfer. This guided journey is designed for minimal business disruption, and not a self-service project.
