- 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
At CyberIAM, our environmental footprint is significantly smaller than similarly sized organizations due to numerous different factors which are built into our core business processes. We are an entirely paperless business, eliminating our reliance on paper for printing. CyberIAM also utilises a public cloud environment for our IT infrastructure, minimising our environmental impact, as resources are shared across Microsoft’s datacenters. We do not house our own data centres, keeping our carbon footprint small. We are also committed to recycling and re-using IT hardware, which is recycled wherever possible by approved suppliers, to guarantee that the hardware is recycled in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Furthermore, plastics are not used in any CyberIAM offices or for any business processes.Covid-19 recovery
As an organization, CyberIAM responded quickly to the Covid-19 pandemic, enabling our employees to work from home and continue to do so as they wish, allowing for flexibility. This enables CyberIAM to adapt to any COVID-19-related challenges and to provide our services at all times without disruption. CyberIAM regularly holds company meetings and virtual social events which allow everyone to communicate and socialize without risk. Now that staff are permitted to return to offices, there are suggestion boxes for employees to anonymously let us know about anything that would help them carry out their duties safely and comfortably. CyberIAM’s offices also have COVID-19 rapid flow tests, hand sanitisers and temperature monitors available at all timesTackling economic inequality

We specify that our initiatives need to include gender representation and typically under supported, disadvantaged groups. Most recently CyberIAM celebrated Eid in April and May 2022. We also offer a women’s support network group for the women in our company of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds.Wellbeing
Our offices are stocked with fruit, snacks and drinks to support the health and wellbeing of our employees.
