Zilla's Early Wins: Can it Accelerate CyberArk's Expansion?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
CYBR posted $1.215B ARR in Q1 FY25, with Zilla contributing $5M and a key financial services win.
Zilla's IGA tools simplify access reviews and automate provisioning, earning strong customer feedback.
Zilla Comply and Provisioning are now part of CYBR's platform, with broader impact expected by late 2025.
CyberArk (CYBR - Free Report) continues to scale its identity security platform. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the company reported Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) of $1.215 billion and net new ARR of $46 million. A new contributor to this growth is Zilla Security, an identity governance company, which was acquired by CyberArk in February 2025 to broaden its identity security platform.
During the first quarter, CyberArk highlighted early traction from its acquisition of Zilla Security. Zilla contributed approximately $5 million in ARR, including securing a six-figure new logo win in financial services. The main highlight of the deal was that the customer displaced its legacy identity governance and administration (IGA) vendor to deploy Zilla. The company noted that the customer feedback on Zilla has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly around simplifying access reviews and automating provisioning across modern environments.
Zilla expands CyberArk’s identity security platform with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered IGA capabilities. With enhanced capabilities, CyberArk is now able to deliver scalable automation that enables accelerated identity compliance and provisioning across digital environments.
Zilla’s capabilities are made available as standalone offerings. The offerings include Zilla Comply for access reviews and Zilla Provisioning that automates onboarding, role transitions, and offboarding through an AI-driven approach. These offerings are now becoming a key part of CyberArk’s broader identity security platform.
Although Zilla is still in its early days, CyberArk expects Zilla to contribute more meaningfully to the sales cycle in the second half of 2025 and into 2026.
