Atos and CyberArk in global partnership to fight today's most dangerous cyber attacks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Prioritizing Privileged Access Management helps protect businesses from insider
risks and external cyber threats
Paris/Monaco, October 6 2016 - Atos, an international leader in digital
services, and CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the company that protects organizations
from cyber attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced Privileged Access Management, a partnership-led service. The service
focuses on helping organizations protect against cyber attacks that target and
exploit privileged account credentials - the common factor in almost all
breaches today. Atos selected CyberArk's industry leading technology solutions
as the service's standard for managing privilege-related risks at customers
worldwide.
Compromised privileged accounts allow attackers to take full control of an
organisation's IT infrastructure, disable security controls, steal confidential
information, commit financial fraud and disrupt operations. Proactive management
of privileged accounts across the enterprise - from endpoints to domain
controllers - is vital to help ensure organizations are protected from advanced
attacks.
Privileged Access Management from Atos and CyberArk is an end-to-end service
that secures privileged accounts, both for users and applications on-premises or
in virtual or cloud environments. It will be offered by Atos as a managed
service with no upfront investment in licenses or infrastructure required. The
flexibility of the CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution enables the
modular offering that encompasses privileged account protection and management,
session security and continuous monitoring.
"The business need for Privileged Access Management has never been clearer and
Atos is very excited to launch this new offering in partnership with CyberArk,"
said Chris Moret, vice president cybersecurity at Atos. "Privileged account
exploitation is one of the most widely used, damaging attack vectors. Effective
mitigation strategies require a complete solution to protect against
increasingly complex, privilege-related security threats. Atos feels it is
essential we simplify as much as possible the risk management process for our
clients so that they can concentrate on their core business."
"It is critical that organisations take a proactive, layered approach to
protecting their most valuable assets - making privileged account security the
first thing organizations should focus on when prioritizing their risk
management strategies," said Adam Bosnian, executive vice president, global
business development at CyberArk. "Organisations taking advantage of this new
service will benefit from Atos' global reach and security expertise, as well as
their understanding of privileged account-related risks to deliver crucial
protection against evolving threats."
