Brown Capital Management made the following comment about CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CYBR) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CYBR), an Israeli company, is the leader in the quickly growing Privileged Access Management (PAM) market, which seeks to monitor, control and isolate access to “superuser” computer and network accounts. These superuser accounts are used for logging into a company’s most critical assets, such as database servers, firewalls, switches, etc. PAM is at the core of the broader identity-management space. While identity management often works to fend off “bad guys,” PAM works under the assumption that bad guys are already on a network and instead minimizes their ability to exploit a company’s key assets. PAM helps to reduce malware infection and propagation and the risk of downtime. According to Forrester, 80% of security breaches involve privileged credentials.
CyberArk delivered strong second-quarter 2022 results, growing annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 48% year over year, and increased its 2022 full-year ARR growth expectation from 35-36% to 36-38% year over year, despite an incremental $1-2 million currency headwind. The results validate its cloud transition strategy in the last few years, effectively expanding its addressable market from 26,000 enterprises to 70,000 by tapping into the mid-market segment, as well as into adjacent categories such as Endpoint Security Management.”
