Important news about Identity and Access Management platforms


2025. Palo Alto Networks acquires secure identity platform CyberArk for $25B



Cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks is buying identity management and protection company CyberArk. The deal is one of the biggest in the history of the IT market - $25 billion. And, naturally, this is the largest acquisition for Palo Alto Networks, which previously bought Dig Security ($400 million in October 2023), Talon Cyber Security ($625 million in November 2023) and Bridgecrew ($156 million in February 2021), among others. Palo Alto CEO Nikesh Arora says that with this acquisition, the company enters the identity security market and gets a platform that can solve the looming problem of AI agents that learn to authenticate instead of people.


2025. Identity Management platform CyberArk acquired Zilla Security



Identity security company CyberArk has acquired identity governance and administration (IGA) platform Zilla Security in a deal worth up to $175 million. CyberArk specializes in access management, including privileged access security which helps organizations protect sensitive data and critical infrastructure from external (and internal) threats. Zilla is a nimbler cloud-native player that has been adding more automation and AI-enabled features to the mix, making it an alluring proposition for a much larger company founded in the days before SaaS or cloud computing had taken hold. Thus, CyberArk hopes to "reshape identity governance with scalable automation that delivers compliance and helps maximize security for the modern enterprise".
