Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
With BYOK functionality, CyberArk Privilege Cloud customers on the CyberArk Identity Security Platform Shared Services can host, manage and revoke the encryption keys for secrets and recordings in CyberArk Privilege Cloud by using APIs, enabling complete control of the access to that data. This is an essential capability for customers in heavily regulated industries such as finance. BYOK allows customers to revoke CyberArk's access to the encryption key at any time, which disables our ability to decrypt the stored data until the customer renews the access to the key.
