How does CyberArk facilitate integration with existing IT systems and applications?

CyberArk facilitates integration with existing IT systems and applications primarily through the use of built-in connectors or APIs. This approach allows organizations to seamlessly link CyberArk's privileged access management solutions to their existing infrastructure and various software applications without significant disruption.

Utilizing built-in connectors and APIs provides a straightforward way for CyberArk to communicate with other systems, ensuring that the integration process is efficient and can be tailored to meet specific business needs. These APIs enable automation of security processes, management of privileged accounts, and support for a wide range of platforms and environments.

In contrast to manual configuration, which can be time-consuming and prone to error, or third-party middleware, which may introduce additional complexity and potential vulnerabilities, the direct use of built-in connectors and APIs streamlines the integration process. Additionally, replacing existing systems with CyberArk is not a typical practice, as companies usually prefer to enhance their current setups rather than completely overhaul their IT environment.
