This week, we announced an important development in our journey to deliver the industry’s most powerful, comprehensive identity security platform. CyberArk has acquired Zilla Security, a leader in modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions, bringing their cutting-edge, AI-powered technology into the fold of our industry-leading platform.
This acquisition is a game-changer for the identity governance landscape, addressing long-standing challenges that have hindered traditional IGA solutions. Legacy IGA systems are often slow to deploy, difficult to integrate, have limited integration with modern systems and rely on manual processes. This leads to inefficiencies and heightened security and compliance risks. In a modern world where identities are no longer static but dynamic and need access on the fly, the only way to efficiently and securely provision all these identities is with an automated lifecycle management solution.
Modern IGA for a Modern World
In stark contrast to legacy IGA systems, Zilla’s modern IGA SaaS platform was built from scratch to address today’s digital environments, characterized by an explosion of SaaS applications, decentralized management and identity-based security threats. Leveraging AI-driven role management, Zilla automates the processes of identity compliance and provisioning, making governance easy, intuitive and all-inclusive for the modern enterprise. It offers the most complete set of integrations for both commonly used and custom SaaS applications. Compared to legacy IGA, Zilla customers have found that its modern IGA can be deployed five times faster, complete access reviews with 80 percent less effort and enable faster provisioning with 60 percent fewer service tickets. For customers, this acquisition means faster time to value with a modern approach to governance that reduces operational complexity.
Making Identity Security Smarter, Faster and More Effective
As we look ahead, we are more committed than ever to delivering solutions that help our customers securely navigate the complexities of the digital world. With the addition of Zilla, we will further expand the industry’s most comprehensive AI-powered Identity Security Platform for human and machine identities, including:
- Discovery and onboarding of all identities with context and risk mapping.
- Applying the right level of privilege controls across entitlement management, session management, credential management and authentication management.
- Automated lifecycle management, policy, governance and compliance.
We are thrilled to welcome co-founders Deepak Taneja and Nitin Sonawane, along with the talented Zilla team, to CyberArk. Together, we will redefine what’s possible in identity governance and make the future of identity security smarter, faster and more effective than ever before.
Matt Cohen is the CEO of CyberArk.
