CyberArk has announced a suite of enhancements across its machine identity security portfolio, introducing new discovery and context capabilities that automatically detect, understand and secure machine identities, including certificates, keys, secrets and workloads.

The updates are aimed at reducing risk and simplifying compliance at scale as machine identities continue to outnumber human ones.

Machine identities now outpace human identities by an estimated 82 to one, according to CyberArk research, with 72 per cent of security leaders reporting certificate-related outages and half experiencing breaches related to compromised machine identities.

 
 

The company said manual processes are no longer sustainable, and automation is essential to maintaining control.

“Implementing machine identity security programs has become increasingly complex as organisations grapple with shrinking certificate lifespans, the rise of AI agents, vault sprawl and vulnerable software supply chains,” Kurt Sand, general manager of machine identity security at CyberArk, said in a statement.

“With these new discovery, context and remediation capabilities, customers gain the visibility and control they need to tame sprawl, enforce policy and secure their environments more efficiently.

“This milestone, just one year after our acquisition of Venafi, marks a significant step forward in our commitment to delivering the industry’s most comprehensive, end-to-end machine identity security solution.”

The expanded portfolio introduces centralised visibility, automated policy enforcement and context-driven insights, enabling organisations to monitor and secure every machine identity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The latest enhancements include updates to CyberArk Secrets Hub, which now delivers discovery and context for dispersed HashiCorp Vault instances and centralised risk management dashboards for third-party scanner data.

CyberArk Certificate Manager gains a new dashboard to prepare customers for progressively shorter TLS certificate lifespans – which are expected to shrink to just 47 days by 2029 – and offers automated, policy-driven code signing to strengthen software supply chains.

Meanwhile, CyberArk SSH Manager for Machines introduces new authorisation and policy controls to help combat SSH key sprawl and improve audit compliance.
