My analysis shows that CyberArk Privilege Cloud purchasing decisions are driven by cybersecurity leadership within IT Security and Identity & Access Management departments. While the postings show 100% individual contributor roles, these teams report to Security Architects, IAM Managers, and Information Security Directors who control budget and vendor selection. Their strategic priorities center on cloud migration, zero trust architecture implementation, and automating privileged access workflows across hybrid environments.
The day-to-day users are overwhelmingly IAM Analysts (42%) and Information Security Engineers (21%) who perform hands-on technical work. I noticed they spend their time on account onboarding, safe creation, platform configuration, policy management, and integration with authentication systems like LDAP and SAML. They troubleshoot CyberArk components, develop custom plugins, monitor privileged sessions, and respond to security incidents. Many positions emphasize REST API automation, credential rotation, and session monitoring as core daily activities.
The job descriptions reveal companies are addressing specific pain points around securing privileged access at scale. I found repeated phrases like "reduce attack surfaces," "enforce least privilege," and "ensure compliance with regulatory requirements" throughout the postings. Organizations are particularly focused on "securing critical assets," "protecting against credential theft," and "enabling secure authentication workflows." The emphasis on CyberArk Privilege Cloud specifically suggests companies are moving away from on-premises PAM solutions toward SaaS-based approaches that offer faster deployment and reduced operational overhead.

Shows how much more likely Cyberark Privilege Cloud customers are to use each tool compared to the general population. For example, 287x means customers are 287 times more likely to use that tool.
I noticed that CyberArk Privilege Cloud users are predominantly large, mature enterprises with complex security and compliance requirements. The presence of tools like ServiceNow, Workday, and SailPoint Identity Cloud tells me these companies have moved well beyond basic IT infrastructure into sophisticated, enterprise-grade systems that demand serious identity and access management. These aren't startups experimenting with security tools. They're established organizations managing thousands of employees and privileged accounts across multiple systems.
The pairing of CyberArk with SailPoint Identity Cloud is particularly revealing. SailPoint handles broad identity governance across an organization, while CyberArk specifically protects privileged accounts with elevated access rights. Together, they suggest a defense-in-depth security strategy where companies are protecting not just regular user access but also their most sensitive administrative credentials. The Proofpoint Security Training correlation reinforces this: these companies are investing heavily in security awareness because they understand human error is a major vulnerability. Meanwhile, Workday's presence indicates they're managing large, distributed workforces where privileged access to HR and financial systems needs tight control.
The full stack screams enterprise sales-led motion. ServiceNow and Workday are quintessential enterprise platforms that require significant implementation resources. Adobe Audience Manager and Qualtrics suggest these are customer-facing businesses, likely B2C or hybrid companies that need to protect customer data while also running sophisticated marketing operations. They're probably past the growth stage and into optimization, focused on compliance, risk management, and operational efficiency rather than rapid experimentation.

I analyzed these companies, and the typical CyberArk Privilege Cloud user operates critical infrastructure or handles sensitive transactions at scale. These aren't tech startups building apps. They're banks processing millions of payments, utilities keeping lights on for entire regions, manufacturers producing essential goods, healthcare systems managing patient data, and transportation networks moving people safely. They build cars, manage supply chains, run insurance operations, process payroll, and operate financial markets. What unites them is that downtime or security breaches have real-world consequences.
These are established, mature enterprises. The employee counts tell the story: most have 1,000+ employees, many over 5,000, with several exceeding 10,000. They operate multiple locations internationally, manage complex regulatory requirements, and have decades of history. Companies like BIC (75 years), Computershare (since 1978), and Bank of Canada represent institutional permanence. Even smaller organizations in this set are part of larger corporate structures or government entities with substantial operational scale.
