With the Addition of New Passwordless
Authentication Options, CyberArk Furthers Its Commitment to Helping
Customers Reduce Credential Theft and Improve Productivity
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the identity security company, today
announced it has expanded passwordless authentication capabilities
with new passkeys support. Now, CyberArk Identity customers can
accelerate passwordless adoption and reduce cybersecurity risk by
enabling the use of passkeys to easily access apps and websites
using strong authentication methods like biometrics.
Stealing or abusing credentials to compromise identities is how
most breaches begin. Passkeys extend a passwordless strategy to
reduce the attack surface and minimize credential theft. The
addition of passkeys provides CyberArk Identity customers with
phishing-resistant, FIDO2-compliant credentials that replace
passwords, providing the strongest level of protection against
identity theft and account takeover and is a NIST Authentical
Assurance Level (AAL3) authentication method. Additionally,
passkeys work across user devices, and even work on those within
physical proximity, improving user experiences by simplifying and
speeding up authentication flows.
CyberArk Identity delivers a set of SaaS solutions designed to
simplify enterprise identity and access management while providing
a high level of security. Part of the CyberArk Identity Security
Platform, CyberArk Identity helps today’s businesses overcome user
authentication, authorization and identity management challenges
accompanying business transformation initiatives. With the CyberArk
platform, organizations can enable Zero Trust and least privilege
with complete visibility, enabling every identity to access any
resource more securely, located anywhere, from everywhere – and
with intelligent privilege controls.
CyberArk Identity also provides support for YubiKey One Time
Passcode (OTP). YubiKey is a widely used physical authentication
device that complies with NIST 800-63B guidelines regarding
Authentication Assurance Level 2 (AAL2). With the OTP generated by
their YubiKey, users can securely authenticate to any application
protected by CyberArk Identity.
“Passwords are the weakest link in the security chain, and they
are often the root cause of data breaches and cyberattacks. By
introducing passkeys for passwordless authentication, we are
further enabling our customers to eliminate passwords from their
authentication workflows,” said Gil Rapaport, general manager,
Access, CyberArk. “CyberArk is committed to delivering the most
comprehensive and innovative identity security solutions on the
market. By extending passwordless authentication options, not only
are we helping to eliminate password-based risk for our customers,
but we are also improving productivity and the overall user
experience.”
CyberArk was named an Overall Leader in the KuppingerCole
Analysts AG “Leadership Compass: Passwordless Authentication”1

and modern passwordless solution.” According to the report,
CyberArk Identity stood out for advantages such as providing a
