At GISEC 2024, CyberArk, the identity security company, announced the availability of CyberArk Identity Security Platform services, which will now be hosted from a UAE-based data centre. This will, in turn, support the region’s data sovereignty needs.
As the UAE continues to encourage a safe and secure digital environment, the ability to store data locally can be an important factor for technology providers.
The CyberArk Identity Security Platform’s locally Hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) components mean data—including credentials—can now be managed, processed, and stored within the UAE, allowing organisations to tailor their data protection compliance strategy to their preferences and local requirements.
Tom Lowndes, Director, Middle East at CyberArk, said, “The compromise and abuse of privileged and sensitive access is the biggest identity security threat organisations face today. The CyberArk Identity Security Platform delivers scalable risk reduction to all organisations and a simplified and optimized security investment. CyberArk allows cybersecurity teams to apply the right level of privilege controls to identify and secure all types of human and machine identities.”
CyberArk helps customers throughout the UAE meet their identity security goals, including state-owned and large enterprise organisations across the financial services, telecommunications and energy sectors and cloud-native businesses.
The company offers a complete and extensible Identity Security Platform across the workforce and customer access, privileged access management, endpoint privilege security, cloud privilege security and identity management, and secrets management. All towards enabling Zero Trust and enforcing the least privilege.
According to research by the company, all organisations worldwide expect to suffer an identity-related compromise in the next 12 months, largely stemming from digital transformation initiatives like cloud adoption, hybrid working practices and third-party-related risk.
