• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: Infrastructure monitoring is accomplished through a series of modern tooling utilizing traces, timeseries metrics, and logs. Appropriate SLO's and SLI"s are developed to trigger alerts and respondaccordingly. Data is collected from devices and applications in the network and aggregated into theSecurity Information and Event Management (SIEM) in order to detect and respond to possibleanomalies and threats. The SIEM is monitored by a dedicated 24/7 security operation center (SOC)to help rapidly detect and mitigate risks.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: CyberArk maintains a formalised incident response plan (IRP) and policy. The incident response policy defines how security incidents are identified, classified, reported, remediated and mitigated throughout incident response stages including post incident assessments. The CyberArk information security department promptly investigates reported anomalies and suspected security breaches on an enterprise-wide level.

Energy efficiency

• Energy-efficient datacentres: Yes
• Description of energy efficient datacentres: "CyberArk SaaS solutions are hosted on AWS. ; AWS is continuously working to increase the efficiency of our facilities, and our scale allows us to achieve higher resource utilization and efficiency than typical on-premises data centres. When possible, we incorporate direct evaporative technology for cooling our data centres, reducing energy and water consumption. During cooler months, outside air is directly supplied to the data centre without using any water. During the hottest months of the year, outside air is cooled through an evaporative process using water before being pushed into the server rooms, and we have optimized our cooling systems to minimize water usage. AWS has also demonstrated our commitment to water stewardship by using reclaimed or recycled water instead of potable water in multiple regions, and we are working with local utilities to expand the use of reclaimed water."

  Fighting climate change

  We take our environmental management and the impact we have on the environment very seriously. We have environmental policies in place and hold the ISO14001 accreditation. Our environmental assessments are conducted annually by an external Lead ESOS Assessor; they are signed-off by the board and compliance reported to the regulator (the Environment Agency). Our environmental policy is published on our website at https://www.bytes.co.uk/company/sustainability/environmental.; Bytes achieved carbon net zero in March 2022 through approved carbon offsetting schemes. We are always seeking to reduce our impact on the environment. We aim to minimise waste, reduce pollutants and use renewable materials. Our offices have recycling facilities for cans, plastic and paper. We aim to reduce our office printing to zero within the next few years. ; An Environmental Steering Committee has been established to coordinate environmental activities and drive change.; To drastically reduce our emissions, we have switched to renewable energy. Our Head Office has reached our first milestone of using a specialist 100% renewable electricity provider. We are also exploring options to install solar panels on our Headquarters building.; Other environmental initiatives include installing electric vehicle charging points and encouraging staff to commute to work without the car (setting up a car share network and installing secure cycle parking).; We produce a SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) report that details the companies energy consumption and carbon emissions. This report is produced annually by an independent assessor. ; This report provides details of our emissions in Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories. It details the activities previously taken to reduce emissions and also recommendations for further improvements.; For scope 1,2 and 3 emissions we aim to reduce these by 50% by 2025-2026 from our 2021 baseline.; We aim to be Net Zero by 2040, covering our own operational emissions.
