CyberArk introduces Access Requests for Secure Cloud Access: Secure, seamless user experience for requestors and approvers alike. Securing and requesting access to multiple clouds can feel like navigating through a maze of approvals and endless tool-switching. In an ideal world, access requests would provide users with frictionless, just-in-time access across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud from within their existing platform.

When I started my career on the trade floor of a Canadian bank, I quickly learned what it meant to work in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment. Every identity had to be secured, justified and auditable. Later, when I moved to the security engineering team, I saw firsthand how compliance could consume entire teams. We weren’t just protecting accounts; we were constantly running manual processes to prove that the right controls were in place.

The first time it happened, nobody noticed. An automation reconciled a ledger, logged its success, and shut itself down. The token that made it possible looked harmless. Tidy, legacy, supposedly scoped “just enough.” But a week later, refunds ghosted, dashboards blinked, and audit logs told three different versions of the truth. And that token? Not a token at all. More like a Fabergé raptor egg sitting in a server room. Not decoration. Incubation. Of chaos.

We are excited to announce the launch of CyberArk’s new solution for securing AI agents, which will be generally available at the end of December 2025. CyberArk Secure AI Agents will extend CyberArk’s Identity Security Platform (ISP), which is a leading solution for securing human and machine identities.

AI agents are moving into the enterprise at full speed. They’re writing code, running analyses, managing workflows, and increasingly shouldering responsibilities once trusted to humans. The opportunity is enormous, but so is the risk. Over-reliance, over-trust, and a lack of guardrails create dangerous fragility. When things go wrong—and they will—enterprises can face three inevitable “panic” moments: unmistakable signs of AI agent failures.

If getting visibility into and governance over your identity estate feels like a headache that—despite attempts at treatment—won’t go away, you’re not alone. You may have processes or tools, but manual work persists, and new apps and identities appear every day. Sound familiar? Many identity governance and automation (IGA) programs are stalling, and it’s not for lack of effort.

In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner sits down with Yuval Moss, CyberArk’s VP of Solutions for Global Strategic Partners, to explore the fast-evolving world of agentic AI and its impact on enterprise security. From rogue AI agents deleting production databases to the ethical blind spots of autonomous systems, the conversation dives deep into how identity and Zero Trust principles must evolve to keep pace.

AI agents aren’t waiting in the wings anymore. They’re approving payments, spinning up cloud resources, and pulling sensitive data at machine speed. Blink, and a swarm of them has already acted a thousand times before anyone can check the logs. But with all that speed and capability comes risk. For many teams, it’s the authentication model—not the tech—that’s breaking.

Trust is the foundation of the digital world. Every time a customer visits a website, processes a financial transaction, or connects to a business application, that trust is validated by TLS certificates. For years, TLS certificate lifespans stretched comfortably to 13 months or longer, giving teams ample time to track and renew them before they expired and caused an application outage. In some situations, even manual renewals were viable for longer lifespan certificates. That era is ending.

It’s one thing to excel. It’s another to consistently redefine the path forward. We’re proud to announce that CyberArk has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM) for the seventh consecutive time. In the latest report, CyberArk is positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision—a placement that, in our view, further reinforces our position as a forward-thinking vendor shaping the future of privilege.
