2020
CyberArk
Privileged access from the pre-sales chair, in the same year and the same chair as Tenable.
The twin of the Tenable chapter: 2020, CYLK, the São Paulo security integrator, on-demand consulting for end customers while the move to full-time instruction with InLearn, CYLK's sister company in the same group, was under way. Where Tenable was about finding the exposure, CyberArk was about the accounts that matter most when it is found.
Privileged access, pre-sales, 2020
CyberArk's product is privileged access security: the vault that holds the credentials of the accounts that can do the most damage, the rotation of those credentials so nobody holds a standing password, and the brokered, recorded sessions through which administrators reach the systems. The engagements were pre-sales: proofs of concept against the customer's own estate, scoping by the number and kind of privileged accounts, and the design conversations about where the vault sits, how sessions are isolated and what gets recorded.
The certifications, and what they were for
CyberArk's partner programme certified the pre-sales engineer (CPE), the sales professional (CSP) and the Trustee, its entry credential on privileged access, and 2020 produced all three. Like the Tenable set, they were the condition for running the engagements, and like that set they lapsed in 2022 once the week belonged to the classroom; the record keeps them with their dates.
