RahulSoni - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Consultant at Simple MDG
Protecting sensitive data with in‑house AI has secured our intellectual property and guided safe usage
As I stated earlier, there are negative sides of the product because it literally made my job a little bit harder or a little bit longer because then I cannot use the AI which is already learned from ten thousand or ten million people throughout the globe to give me that understanding and better things. From my own background, if I put that, 'Okay, I am in this particular place, what I can do to resolve it,' I cannot do that because it is not letting me do that. So I am bound to one of the in-house developed and trained AIs. The machine learning aspect of Adaptive Data Security Platform has the potential to be better, and it is doing a little bit more in those areas already because if there is an AI which has already been there in the company, it goes ahead and understands from that part itself. It also goes ahead and understands certain number of other aspects from the people who are already using the AI on towards the public AI as well because it goes ahead and checks that this is something which is the context and it is going ahead and stopping the people or making them understand that whatever they are doing is not correct or something along those lines. Adaptive Data Security Platform is already having the potential of learning while being in use.

CyberArk Engineer at Tata Consultancy
Provides full visibility into user activity and ensures secure end-to-end access across critical systems
In CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I see room for improvement as I am working in the on-premises networks, and now we are also having the cloud-based PAM. So there, everything is maintained by the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager team, and we are only maintaining the PSM servers. So it is already upgraded from the on-premises network to the cloud network. If you ask me what we can implement beyond that, I just need a few minutes to think about what new things, because it is already an end-to-end security on-premises itself. Now, when it comes to PCloud, Privileged Cloud, it is more secure than the on-premises networks because most of the things are handled using the cloud itself. So it is an already upgraded version; we do not need to implement something new. But if you think in that way, we can have a chance to implement our things. If anything could be improved in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, I think we could build a small agent AI in my team, we could give access to these logs—the Vault logs, PSM logs, and CPM logs. Whenever the system is going down, the AI will automatically check. If we actually implement agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, it will check the logs, and if any errors are coming, it automatically triggers alerts and gives the solution. That is the best improvement I can think of because these days, most things are done by agent AI. So if we also implement this agent AI in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, we can add more features.
