Gold prices rise on weaker dollar, Fed easing bets; holds long-term appeal
NEWTON, Mass. - CyberArk (NASDAQ:CYBR) announced Tuesday the upcoming general availability of its Secure AI Agents Solution, expanding the company’s Identity Security Platform to address security challenges posed by autonomous AI agents. The cybersecurity firm, which has seen its stock surge nearly 90% over the past year and is currently trading near its 52-week high of $526.19, continues to strengthen its product portfolio amid strong revenue growth.
The new solution, scheduled for release in December 2025, aims to provide privilege controls for AI agent identities that often require elevated access rights to perform automated tasks across enterprise systems.
According to research conducted by CyberArk, AI agent adoption is expected to reach 76% within three years, yet fewer than 10% of organizations currently have adequate security controls in place. The study also found that nearly 40% of enterprise financial institutions and software companies already have AI agents in production environments.
"Without strong discovery, robust privilege controls, and comprehensive lifecycle management, organizations risk losing visibility and opening the door to catastrophic agentic attacks," said Matt Cohen, CEO of CyberArk.
The solution will include features for agent discovery across cloud and SaaS environments, secure access management, real-time threat detection, and lifecycle management to support compliance requirements.
CyberArk’s approach applies the principle of least privilege to AI agents, ensuring they receive only necessary access permissions for specific durations. This methodology aims to reduce risks associated with agent hallucinations, misuse, or potential takeover by malicious actors.
Two-thirds of CISOs in financial services and software rank AI agents among their top three cybersecurity concerns, with more than one-third citing it as their primary security risk, according to the company’s research.
The announcement comes as organizations increasingly deploy autonomous AI systems that can act with reasoning capabilities and require access to sensitive systems, creating new security challenges for enterprise environments.
