Digital vaulting booms as Cyber-Ark signs Vistorm
20 December 2006  

The last quarter has been the best ever for Cyber-Ark Software, the information security software company that develops and markets Digital Vaults for securing and managing privileged passwords and highly-sensitive information. 

As the product has become more mainstream and with compliance and audits fuelling the market, demand has never been so high from major enterprises across the globe.  As a result 6 new partners have recently been signed up, amongst them is Vistorm information assurance specialist and managed security service provider.  

Steve Browell – general manager – Technology Business Vistorm said: “Cyber-Ark’s vaulting technology addresses a market need that many of our customers see as an issue.  It also fits nicely with our Information Assurance approach and our focus on helping organisations address their compliance challenges. We are looking forward to incorporating their product into our portfolio of managed secure infrastructure services and solutions and working alongside a respected and trusted supplier that helps us to meet the requirements of our customers.”

Cyber-Ark has seen a huge upturn in business over the past 6 months, with a 100% increase in their customer base and revenues increasing three fold. Cyber-Ark’s technology is already used to secure the most valuable assets of some of the largest military, banking, manufacturing, airline and governmental enterprises in the world.  Companies such as Voca, BT, AstraZeneca, Roche, Motorola, Orange, Mizuho Bank, Rabobank, Belgacom and, Standard Bank have long been “digital vaulting” advocates using the “Vaulting Solution” as a "safe haven" within their enterprises for all critical information assets to be archived, transferred and shared. Cyber-Ark’s award-winning Enterprise Password Vault is the most popular product in the Cyber-Ark portfolio for many large institutions and financial organisations as it is has become the de-facto solution for administrative password management whereby companies can manage, secure, auto-update and log all activities  associated with their privileged passwords.

Calum Macleod – European director for Cyber-Ark said: “There is a real buzz around our product at the moment as more and more companies recognise the need to be able to store and manage their critical and sensitive data in a digital capacity which is safe, intuitive and easy to use.  Vistorm is a natural partner for Cyber-Ark as many of their customers meet exactly our existing customers criteria with many looking for proven, best of breed products such as ours.  With Vistorm’s reputation and standing in the corporate community we are certain that with our out-of-the-box security solution uniquely positioned to eliminate one of today’s biggest IT security risks and compliance challenges, we will very quickly see the results of this new partnership.”
