• Configuration and change management approach: As opposed to other cloud service providers who only provide a service but use 3rd-party technologies, CyberArk developed all the technologies it uses from scratch and only uses standard servers and routers (no 3rd-party technologies). This allows much more flexibility and rapid reaction to new threats and attack vectors as we do not have to wait for updates and patches – we do them ourselves immediately. In order to fight todays sophisticated and constantly changing attack patterns we have CyberArk’s 24x7 SOC - manned with security experts that can handle any attack in real time.

SLA of handling the issue according to the risk level. In case the decision is to fix, the fix is like any standard feature\bug development, including validation (QA) and automation. Security bulletin - in case a security issue found risky, and requires patch, we have a mechanism of publishing "security bulleting" to our customers. This bulletin contains explanation of the issue, and mitigation steps (including patch if needed).

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 times

  Tackling economic inequality

  At CyberIAM we are committed to diversity, inclusion and equality. Our employees hail from all around the globe and are all paid higher than the national average in each territory.

  Equal opportunity

  Our equal opportunities policy is in place to enforce our firm belief in equality for all. Everybody at the company has the same opportunity for training, recruitment and selection. Our jobs are advertised to a diverse audience and our employees come from around the world including the UK, South Africa, Spain, Philippines and Australia. 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. We also have a social committee who organize and run events for the company, ensuring everybody gets to have fun and socialize if they wish to. We have an open-door policy where people are encouraged to share and resolve any worries they have; we work with our employees to ensure they are happy and comfortable, e.g. flexible working hours to accommodate childcare needs. We work hard for our inclusive and supportive culture where everyone and their views, beliefs and goals are respected.
