What is Idira Identity Platform (formerly from CyberArk)?

Idira Identity Platform is an identity security platform from Palo Alto Networks that controls and monitors privileged and workforce access, and it extends to machine identities and AI agents. The vendor describes it as one platform for human, machine, and agentic identities. The human offering covers privileged access management (PAM), identity and access management (IAM), endpoint privilege management, identity governance, and workforce password management. Palo Alto Networks completed its acquisition of CyberArk in early 2026. CyberArk's identity security products are now offered under the Idira brand, which Palo Alto Networks describes as built on CyberArk's legacy and powered by Palo Alto Networks.

We make our information technology department more efficient by not having to manage and oversee maintaining the security of the accounts we use within this software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used CyberArk Privileged Access Management to manage all Windows local administrator accounts and all UNIX root accounts for servers. We were an organization that used to have the same password for all servers, and it was not very secure. We also use this solution to manage database, ILOs, websites, etc...

Pros

  • Managing local administrator accounts for Windows Servers
  • Managing local root accounts for Unix Servers
  • Managing service accounts for Windows Servers
  • Managing IIS Application pool passwords for Windows web servers.

Cons

  • The management of Safes could be a little more simplistic.
  • Creating custom connection components are sometimes tricky.
  • Setting up remote vendors can be a little cumbersome.

Return on Investment

  • It has made local servers much more secure and helps with prevent horizontal attacks.
  • Cyberark is easy to scale up once the software is in place and setup.
  • The high initial investment and complex setup is a negative impact.

A comfortable way to manage privileged and service accounts

Pros

  • Managing Service Accounts. We like using CyberArk for using it when we need to remote into certain systems and the password is stored on CyberArk.
  • Managing Privileged Accounts. It allows our IT personal to use their privileged accounts without having to remember their passwords. It also keeps our staff compliant with complexities with passwords.
  • Using CyberArk as a jump host has saved us on licensing issues. It's also easy to use when needing to remote in and automatically signing you in.

Cons

  • I'm not sure what could be done differently. There are some things that were once an issue that are no longer an issue. For instance, creating a short cut on the desktop for RDP through CyberArk. Since the upgrade and updates, we are now able to save shortcuts to our desktop.

Return on Investment

  • A positive impact is passing SOX audits when it comes to privileged account management. Making sure we are compliant with password expiration policies and complexities.
