The cybersecurity firm announced the completion of Australia’s InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the "Protected" information classification level.

Peretz Regev, CyberArk’s Chief Product & Technology Officer, emphasized the growing need for robust identity security amid escalating state-sponsored cyber threats. The company’s Identity Security Platform, which includes Endpoint Privilege Manager and Workforce Identity solutions, applies intelligent privilege controls to human and machine identities across the entire identity lifecycle. By addressing continuous threat detection and prevention, CyberArk aims to support Australia’s cloud-first modernization efforts while mitigating risks associated with identity-centric attacks. The IRAP completion underscores the firm’s commitment to meeting diverse regulatory requirements in critical infrastructure sectors.
