Cloud security demands effective management of identity risks and comprehensive visibility. CyberArk and Wiz address these challenges by combining privileged controls with advanced cloud-native solutions.
The partnership simplifies cloud management by identifying excessive permissions and applying automated policies for secure access. It ensures only necessary permissions are granted, using zero-standing privileges to eliminate risks associated with overprivileged accounts, said Clarence Hinton, chief strategy officer, head of corporate development at CyberArk, and Oron Noah, vice president, product extensibility and partnerships at Wiz.
This approach allows enterprises to strengthen cloud security without hindering developers’ productivity.
"Cloud is challenging," Noah said. "It's hard to understand what is running in the cloud, what the relevant risk is, how you correlate risk and how you identify the most critical attack path."
CyberArk's identity security solutions provide centralized governance over cloud environments. Paired with Wiz's capabilities to detect and prioritize risks, this collaboration ensures visibility, risk detection and automated remediation.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group, Hinton and Noah also discussed:
- How cloud-native solutions enable secure, developer-friendly operations;
- The need to apply just-in-time access policies to ensure privileges are granted only when needed;
- CyberArk and Wiz's mutual goal of improving cloud security for shared customers.
