CyberArk announced expanded capabilities of CyberArk Alero to support emerging business continuity priorities.

Building on its core use case of enabling privileged access for remote vendors, Alero, a SaaS-based solution combining Zero Trust access and biometric multi-factor authentication, now allows remote employees simple and secure access to critical systems managed by CyberArk.

CyberArk Alero is designed to provide fast, easy and secure privileged access to remote users including third party vendors, employees and contractors.

CyberArk combines Zero Trust access, biometric authentication and just-in-time provisioning without the use of VPNs, agents or passwords in one solution. Unlike VPN-based solutions, CyberArk Alero removes the need to deploy additional infrastructure or hardware and provides granular, role-based access to critical internal systems regardless of user type, target system or environment.

“As organizations continue to embrace the benefits of remote work – be it out of necessity or simply offering employees flexibility – it’s critical they adopt an integrated and standardized method for workers and vendors to securely access the critical internal systems necessary to keep business up and running,” said Gil Rapaport, VP, CyberArk Alero. “By extending the capabilities of CyberArk Alero to now include remote employees, organizations can take advantage of the benefits of continued productivity while simultaneously mitigating security risks and reducing operational complexity.”
