CyberArk Achieves Cloud Service Provider Security Standard Certification from Dubai Electronic Security Centre

CyberArk, the global leader in identity security, recently announced that it has received Cloud Service Provider (CSP) certification from Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DESC).

This certification means that CyberArk has demonstrated compliance with the security standards required to be able to provide secure cloud services to the Dubai government and semi-government entities at this time. The company continues to expand its portfolio of global certifications as part of a broader strategy to strengthen collaboration with governments worldwide and support their evolving cybersecurity mandates. This latest certification marks a significant step in the company’s continued growth within the UAE.

The CSP security standard is an essential part of DESC’s initiative to strengthen cybersecurity across Dubai and is based on internationally recognized frameworks, such as ISO/IEC 27001. By meeting the stringent requirements of this standard, the global leader in identity security is now able to offer SaaS identity security products to government organisations while helping to ensure that they meet local data protection and cybersecurity laws. As these organisations generate and handle growing volumes of sensitive data, they are prime targets for cyberattacks, making cloud security essential to safeguard their systems.

“Achieving the Cloud Service Provider Security Standard from DESC is a key step for public sector customers aiming to select CyberArk to secure their digital assets,” said Eduarda Camacho, Chief Operating Officer at CyberArk. “This certification assures organisations in Dubai and across the UAE that CyberArk’s cloud security services are recognised by the Government of Dubai as meeting  security and compliance standards. As the emirate continues its digital transformation, CyberArk will help provide the secure, zero-trust based foundation organisations need to modernise and migrate to the cloud.”

An Ongoing Commitment from CyberArk

Obtaining CSP certification builds on the 2024 launch of UAE-based SaaS products from the CyberArk Identity Security Platform. It is another marker of the company’s ongoing commitment to developing solutions that meet the specific needs of customers around the world, enabling organisations to adopt CyberArk’s Artificial Intelligence-powered identity security platform while complying with data sovereignty requirements. The certification covers a range of cloud-based CyberArk products, which allow organisations to apply the right level of privilege controls to all identities, human and machine:

  • CyberArk Privilege Cloud secures privileged access for IT and cloud ops teams, discovering roles and accounts and securing their use, for measurable risk reduction over time. The cybersecurity expert applies controls within native IT tooling, with unified support for vaulted credentials and Zero Standing Privileges across shared and federated access models.
  • Identity Administration is the centralised user management function of CyberArk Identity Security Platform Shared Services, providing a single interface for provisioning users and setting up authentication for users of the Shared Services platform.
  • Secure Infrastructure Access (SIA) is a non-intrusive, agentless SaaS solution that isolates and monitors privileged sessions to organisational assets wherever they are located.

CyberArk’s commitment to security and compliance is underscored by its work to meet industry certifications including FIDO2ACNSOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 and FedRAMP®. These certifications validate the company’s adherence to best practices in security, privacy, and governance, providing customers with the assurance that sensitive data and digital assets are protected by leading identity security solutions.
