IoT and OT devices are increasingly exploited as entry points, with breaches in sectors like retail, utilities, and manufacturing causing major disruptions and financial losses. Weak or default credentials, lack of patching, and unclear ownership heighten risks.

CyberArk strengthens this process by vaulting credentials, automating rotation, and integrating with device gateways for secure updates. Vendor PAM provides just-in-time, agentless third-party access, even in air-gapped environments, reducing risk while ensuring compliance and operational resilience.
