CyberArk operates as the category-defining privileged access management (PAM) operator and one of the longest-tenured Israeli cybersecurity public companies. Founded in 1999 by Udi Mokady and Alon Cohen, the company completed its NASDAQ IPO in September 2014 at a $740 million implied valuation. Through 2014-2024, the company expanded its category position from PAM into broader identity security.

Udi Mokady transitioned to Executive Chair following the acquisition close.
