CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), a global identity security leader, has acquired Zilla Security, an innovator in AI-powered Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions. This acquisition enhances CyberArk’s Identity Security Platform with scalable automation, accelerating identity compliance and provisioning while improving security and efficiency. CyberArk purchased Zilla for $165 million in cash, with an additional $10 million earn-out based on milestone achievements.
Modern enterprises need scalable IGA solutions that seamlessly integrate across hybrid environments. Legacy IGA, built for on-premises use, relies on manual processes and slow deployments. Zilla’s AI-driven SaaS platform is purpose-built for the cloud, automating identity compliance and provisioning with seamless integration across cloud and SaaS applications. Customers report that Zilla deploys five times faster than legacy systems, reduces access review efforts by 80%, and cuts provisioning service tickets by 60%.
“As enterprises manage increasing privilege complexities, modern IGA is critical for security and agility,” said Matt Cohen, CEO, CyberArk. “Integrating Zilla into our platform allows us to redefine identity governance with scalable automation.”
Deepak Taneja, CEO & Co-Founder, Zilla Security, added, “Traditional IGA no longer works. Zilla’s AI-driven automation simplifies governance, and with CyberArk, we can expand our impact globally.”
With Zilla, CyberArk enhances its AI-powered Identity Security Platform by:
- Discovering and onboarding identities with context and risk mapping
- Applying privilege controls across entitlement, session, credential, and authentication management
- Automating lifecycle management, policy enforcement, governance, and compliance
Zilla’s IGA capabilities are now available from CyberArk as standalone offerings:
- Zilla Comply: Automates access reviews and audit evidence documentation.
- Zilla Provisioning: AI-driven identity provisioning for seamless access management.
CyberArk’s acquisition of Zilla fills a critical market gap, delivering unified identity security for modern enterprises.
