nCircle Announces Integration with Cyber-Ark’s Privileged Identity Management Suite, Expanded Functionality in Suite360™

New features simplify credentials management, deliver a configurable dashboard and expand scan coverage

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- nCircle, the leader in automated security and compliance auditing solutions, today announced new functionality in its flagship product line, Suite360, including an interactive, configurable dashboard, new configuration auditing scan modules and policies, and integration with Cyber-Ark’s Privileged Identity Management (PIM) Suite.

Cyber-Ark Integration

nCircle’s integration with Cyber-Ark enables customers to store and manage their IT systems’ credentials -- as required by authenticated nCircle scans -- directly in the Cyber-Ark Enterprise Password Vault (EPV), improving security and simplifying credentials management. nCircle embedded the Cyber-Ark secure API for Application Identity Management, and the integration provides a single place to manage credentials while safely and securely expanding the scope of scans to provide a comprehensive view of customers’ security and compliance posture.

"Managing credentials is a significant challenge in large enterprises and can be an obstacle to complete network scanning coverage," said Ric Weeks, vice president of business development at Cyber-Ark Software. "The integration of Cyber-Ark's PIM Suite with nCircle Suite360 ensures the protection of credentials while reducing management overhead.”

“Comprehensive network scanning requires a combination of credentialed and un-credentialed scans,” noted Tim Keanini, CTO of nCircle. “nCircle’s integration with Cyber-Ark streamlines our customers’ credentials management process and makes it easier to properly audit the entire network for security and compliance.”
