When government agencies, organizations in government-regulated industries or private entities want to take advantage of the cloud, they turn to AWS GovCloud (US), an isolated region within the AWS cloud that hosts sensitive data, regulated workloads and addresses relevant security and federal compliance requirements.
AWS GovCloud brings the agility and scalability benefits of the AWS cloud platform to US-based customers with the most stringent regulatory and compliance requirements. And now, based on customer demand, the CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution supports and runs on AWS GovCloud.
The CyberArk solution enables organizations running on AWS GovCloud to dramatically simplify and automate privileged access protection for sensitive cloud-based systems and applications while strengthening compliance and accelerating digital transformation initiatives. The solution also enables organizations to consistently enforce privileged access security policies across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.
With CyberArk, AWS GovCloud (US) customers can:
- Discover, secure and protect account passwords, SSH Keys, API keys and secrets, and other privileged credentials for both human and non-human access to reduce risk from cyberattacks and meet compliance requirements
- Isolate, monitor and control all privileged session activity across cloud and on-premises infrastructure and applications, including suspending or terminating high-risk privileged sessions
The CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution is strongly positioned to help organizations meet today’s challenging security and compliance requirements. The solution is on the US Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Capabilities Approved Products List (UC APL). Like AWS GovCloud, the CyberArk solution is compliant with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and Healthcare Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy standards.
The CyberArk solution for AWS GovCloud is available now to qualified, US-based customers through a SaaS subscription model. To learn more, visit the AWS Marketplace.
