Securing Australia’s Critical Systems: CyberArk Completes IRAP Assessment at ‘Protected’ Information Classification Level

Trusted by Organisations Around the World to Secure Human and Machine Identities in the Modern Enterprise

CyberArk, the global leader in identity security, has announced that it has completed Australia’s InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the “Protected” information classification level. This means public sector organisations in Australia looking for the highest national standards for safeguarding critical assets can rely on the company’s leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager and CyberArk Workforce Identity.

The global leader in identity security is trusted by organisations around the world to secure human and machine identities in the modern enterprise. Its Artificial Intelligence-powered Identity Security Platform applies intelligent privilege controls to every identity with continuous threat prevention, detection, and response across the identity lifecycle. With the company’s expertise, organisations can reduce operational and security risks by enabling zero trust and least privilege with complete visibility and empowering all users and identities, including workforce, IT, developers and machines, to securely access any resource, located anywhere, from everywhere.

What IRAP Assessment Means for CyberArk

IRAP provides a framework for assessing the implementation and effectiveness of a system’s security controls against the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM), governed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD). Completing the assessment is critical for Australian government departments and agencies seeking to adopt platforms and tools from technology service providers. Completion of the IRAP assessment against Protected-level controls provides assurance around the implementation of CyberArk’s security controls for the processing, storage and transmission of information at the Australian federal, state, and local levels.

“Evolving state-sponsored threats demand the highest levels of security for Australia’s public sector organisations and critical infrastructure,” said Peretz Regev, Chief Product and Technology Officer at CyberArk. “As government agencies move to modernise operations and embrace cloud-first strategies, identity security must be a top priority. Completing the IRAP assessment assures that CyberArk’s SaaS offerings meet stringent national standards and are well-equipped to protect Australia’s most sensitive assets from identity-centric attacks.”

The CyberArk Identity Security Platform, which includes Endpoint Privilege Manager and Workforce Identity, applies intelligent privilege controls to all identities—human and machine—with continuous threat detection and prevention across the entire identity lifecycle.
