CyberArk Bets on Secure AI Agents: Will This Unlock Next Growth Wave?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
CYBR launched Secure AI Agents to manage privileged access and risks from autonomous AI workflows.
New AWS Marketplace offerings support Zero Standing Privileges for AI agents in cloud environments.
Consensus sees CYBR 2025 revenue up 31.9% and non-GAAP EPS rising 26.4% on platform expansion.
CyberArk Software (CYBR - Free Report) is expanding its identity security platform to manage growing risks that enterprises face from autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents. In the first quarter of 2025, CyberArk introduced its Secure AI Agents Solution to help organizations manage the privileged access of AI agents and secure their interactions across environments. The solution combines CyberArk’s existing platform capabilities with AI-specific discovery, privilege controls, lifecycle management and governance.
These AI agents act like humans in their autonomy and like machines in their ability to scale, creating a unique security risk. They can communicate with other agents, access sensitive systems and even modify their behaviour to complete complex tasks, making them a fast-growing security risk as organizations scale their use of AI.
CyberArk’s solution addresses this challenge by applying identity-first security principles, where it treats each AI agent like any other privileged, autonomous identity. The solution provides organizations with visibility into all AI agents, including known or shadow agents. It also enforces privilege control for secure access management and threat detection and response.
Most recently, in July, CyberArk expanded access to these capabilities by making Secure Cloud Access MCP Server and Agent Guard available through Amazon Web Service (“AWS”) Marketplace. Through these offerings, CyberArk aims to simplify the adoption and enforcement of Zero Standing Privileges across AI workflows, further strengthening CyberArk’s platform reach.
As more enterprises adopt AI agents, CyberArk’s early move into this space could create new cross-sell opportunities, making its platform even more critical for customers seeking identity security consolidation. This would drive the company’s growth even further. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 revenues and non-GAAP EPS suggests growth of 31.9% and 26.4%, respectively.
