History & general timeline
Cyber-Ark was founded in 1999 by Alon Cohen, Udi Mokady and a team of security technologists in Israel, who worked to develop the Digital Vault. The technology combines multiple layers of security which resides within an existing network perimeter and focuses around data itself, creating a central repository to share and store proprietary or confidential data. The Digital Vault was created to exist separately from the network, whether placed within or outside the infrastructure and serves as the foundation for all of Cyber-Ark’s following technology products.
In April 2006 Cyber-Ark’s digital vaulting platform was tested by ICSA Labs and verified as a secure, encrypted file storage and sharing environment.
On July 9, 2006, Cyber-Ark expanded its European presence by opening a new UK headquarters in London. Later that year, on December 21, the Company moved its corporate headquarters to Newton, MA.
On January 30, 2007, Cyber-Ark co-founded the PCI Security Vendor Alliance along with seven other companies to educate U.S. companies on the compliance regulation and technology tools for compliance.
On September 28, 2010, Cyber-Ark joined the Cloud Security Alliance to help promote best practices and support educational initiatives associated with creating and maintaining secure cloud computing environments.
