CyberArk completes IRAP assessment

Identity security vendor CyberArk has completed an InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment for its Software-as-a-Service offerings. The successful assessment confirms the ability of the company’s Endpoint Privilege Manager and Workforce Identity platforms to manage sensitive data up to the Protected classification level.

An IRAP assessment measures the effectiveness of a system’s security controls against the requirements contained within the Australian Signals Directorate’s Information Security Manual.

CyberArk Chief Product and Technology Officer Peretz Regev welcomed the development.

“Evolving state-sponsored threats demand the highest levels of security for Australia’s public sector organisations and critical infrastructure,” he said. “As government agencies move to modernise operations and embrace cloud-first strategies, identity security must be a top priority. Completing the IRAP assessment assures that CyberArk’s SaaS offerings meet stringent national standards and are well-equipped to protect Australia’s most sensitive assets from identity-centric attacks.”

CyberArk solutions also comply with global industry and regulatory standards including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the US FedRAMP High Authorisation standard and multiple International Standards Organisation certifications.

The CyberArk Identity Security Platform is designed to apply intelligent privilege controls across both human and machine identities, with continuous threat detection and prevention capabilities across the identity lifecycle, according to the company.
