Bio

Udi Mokady co-founded CyberArk in Israel in April 1999, served as its CEO from 2005 to 2023, and then moved to Executive Chair. The company started with a digital vault for secrets and grew into the defining vendor of a category that did not exist when it launched.

Where their work shows up

Privileged access management is arguably the only identity category invented by a product rather than a standards body. The core insight, that the accounts with the most power should be the ones nobody holds permanently, became session isolation, credential vaulting, just-in-time elevation, and session recording, and it is now the control auditors look for first after a breach. CyberArk built that playbook; see the best PAM solutions ranking for how the field competes on it today, and the breach teardowns for what happens when privileged accounts go unmanaged.
