Cybersecurity never stands still. Every login, session, and connection shifts the balance between freedom and control. Effective access management today isn’t about restriction—it’s about enabling trust at the speed of innovation. Modern enterprises achieve this by evolving their controls to be seamless, adaptive, and invisible to the user.
That’s exactly what CyberArk helps organizations do. Today, we’re proud to announce our recognition as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Access Management1. We believe this recognition highlights the value CyberArk delivers by challenging the status quo—uniting access, privilege, and identity security in one intelligent platform that strengthens defenses, simplifies operations and keeps organizations moving securely at business speed.
Redefine access management? Challenge accepted
To us, embodying a challenger means listening closely to customers, learning from their toughest challenges, and helping them build for the future.
We’ve seen firsthand how every new connection, app, and identity creates opportunities for innovation—and attack. We understand that the lines between access, privilege, and identity protection have disappeared. Legacy identity tools weren’t built for this reality. Modern security must be simpler, smarter, and more adaptive.
At CyberArk, we’ve helped the world’s largest organizations challenge the status quo and transform their security practices. The CyberArk Identity Security Platform delivers the intelligence and automation to bridge legacy systems and cloud applications, secure every user on any device, and reduce overhead—without disrupting how people work.
What it means to challenge—and lead—in access and identity security
By bringing access and privilege together, CyberArk helps customers eliminate identity silos, reduce attack surfaces, and demonstrate measurable return on security investment.
We empower organizations to:
- Combine multifactor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), lifecycle management, and adaptive policies in a unified experience.
- Extend just-in-time (JIT), least privilege access to every identity—human or machine—across cloud and hybrid environments.
- Deliver a passwordless experience that reduces friction while enhancing security.
- Continuously monitor for anomalies and adjust authentication dynamically based on risk.
- Use AI-driven insights to improve visibility, strengthen controls, and simplify compliance.
CyberArk is proud to partner with organizations of every size and sector—helping them secure access, modernize operations, and protect the identities that power their business. We believe this recognition reflects our innovation, our customers’ trust, and our shared commitment to building a more secure future.
As threats evolve, our mission remains to help every organization stay secure and one step ahead.
