Can CyberArk manage non-human identities, such as service accounts?

CyberArk is designed to provide comprehensive identity and access management solutions, which include the management of both human and non-human identities, such as service accounts. Non-human identities are essential in automated environments and for services that require access to applications, systems, or resources without human intervention.

Service accounts often have elevated privileges and access rights, which can present security risks if not properly managed. By allowing CyberArk to manage these non-human identities, organizations can ensure that these accounts are secured, monitored, and maintained in compliance with security policies. This includes enforcing password rotation, session recording, access controls, and auditing to mitigate risks associated with misuse or unauthorized access.

Managing these identities effectively helps organizations maintain a strong security posture, particularly in a landscape increasingly dominated by automation and integrated systems, where service accounts are commonly utilized across both on-premises and cloud environments. Thus, the ability of CyberArk to manage both types of identities is crucial for overall security management within an organization.
