In today’s connected world, many organizations’ “keys to the kingdom” are held in identity and access management (IAM) solutions; these play a crucial role in protecting organizations’ assets. In this post, we delve into the world of Keycloak, a popular open-source IAM solution. As part of our work at CyberArk Labs, we research open-source projects and look for security issues so we can share our findings with the open-source and security communities.

Imagine standing in your favorite ice cream parlor, gazing at myriad flavors chilling behind the counter. The choices are tantalizing, from traditional vanilla and chocolate to a swirl of the two. Ice cream flavors have evolved from these bases into cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip, Neapolitan, birthday cake, Rocky Road, butter pecan and coffee – you get the picture. Ice cream is a lot like privileged access management (PAM) solutions.

In this episode of Trust Issues, Daniel Schwartzer, CyberArk’s Chief Product Technologist and leader of the company’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Center of Excellence, joins host David Puner for a conversation that explores AI’s transformative impact on identity and access management (IAM). Schwartzer discusses how CyberArk’s AI Center of Excellence is equipping the R&D team to innovate continuously and stay ahead of AI-enabled threats.

A few weeks ago, my wife asked me why stopping threat actors from impacting our lives is so difficult. In this digital age, the necessity to connect online brings inherent exposure to vulnerabilities. The challenge for you as a security leader lies in reducing the sense of vulnerability by building trust. You need to protect your organization and reassure employees so they can perform their jobs without fear.

In the era of rapid digital transformation, organizations are prioritizing cloud transformation projects to enhance their operational agility, scalability and cost efficiency. However, this shift takes time and brings significant challenges, particularly in security and identity management.

We’re excited about several new Secrets Management capabilities that we announced at IMPACT 24 in Nashville and around the globe on the IMPACT World Tour. These include CyberArk Conjur Cloud support for Self-hosted PAM, CyberArk Secrets Hub support for Google Cloud and dramatic performance improvements for the Credential Providers with Release 14. AWS also demonstrated their new ”Managed By CyberArk“ capability in the AWS Secrets Manger UI.

In today’s dynamic threat landscape, a robust identity security strategy is paramount to protecting enterprises. With the digital perimeter extended to every user identity, securing access across your complete environment – on-premises, multi-cloud and everything in between – is no longer optional, but essential.

In the highwire act of the financial services sector, identity security serves as the essential safety net, meticulously engineered to intercept any missteps before they precipitate a fall. Just as a tightrope walker relies on a safety net for confidence at dizzying heights, financial institutions – from global companies and insurers to community banks and credit unions – navigate a complex array of risks.

In this episode of the Trust Issues podcast, we explore the nexus of mindfulness, identity security and leadership with Jitender Arora, Partner and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Deloitte North and South Europe, and Deloitte’s Global Deputy CISO.

As a CIO, I often wish for a world where the threat landscape is less expansive and complicated than it is today. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different. This month, I find myself particularly focused on the idea that our digital business would come to a grinding halt without the technology ecosystem that supports it. However, this very ecosystem also presents significant risks.
