CyberArk enhances machine identity security with new discovery tools

LONG BEACH, Calif. - CyberArk (NASDAQ:CYBR), a cybersecurity leader with impressive revenue growth of 39.45% and industry-leading gross margins of 76.86%, unveiled new discovery and context capabilities for its Machine Identity Security portfolio Tuesday at its IMPACT World Tour 2025 event, addressing the growing security challenges posed by machine identities that now outnumber human identities by 82 to 1.

The security company’s platform enhancements aim to help organizations automatically find, understand and secure machine identities across certificates, keys, secrets and workloads to reduce risk and simplify compliance. With a market capitalization of $25.13 billion and an overall financial health rating of "GOOD" according to InvestingPro, CyberArk continues to demonstrate strong market leadership in the cybersecurity sector.

According to CyberArk research, 72% of security leaders have reported certificate-related outages, while 50% have experienced security incidents or breaches from compromised machine identities.

"With these new discovery, context and remediation capabilities, customers gain the visibility and control they need to tame sprawl, enforce policy and secure their environments more efficiently," said Kurt Sand, GM of Machine Identity Security at CyberArk.

Key enhancements include discovery and context features for HashiCorp Vault to address vault sprawl challenges, a risk management dashboard that centralizes observability across secrets vaults, and a CA/B Forum TLS Certificate Dashboard that provides visibility into certificate expiration timelines.

The company also introduced new authorization and policy controls for SSH Manager for Machines to help manage SSH key sprawl and unmitigated access.

Some of the announced features are available immediately, while others will be released by late 2025, according to the company’s statement.

The announcement comes one year after CyberArk’s acquisition of Venafi, as the company works to deliver what it describes as a comprehensive machine identity security solution amid increasing AI adoption and cloud native growth.

Based on a press release statement, CyberArk’s platform updates respond to the challenges of shrinking certificate lifespans, the rise of AI agents, vault sprawl and vulnerable software supply chains. Trading near its 52-week high of $505.18, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently overvalued, though analysts have set price targets ranging from $415 to $551.
