'''CyberArk''' is an Israeli identity-security company founded in 1999 by [[Udi Mokady]] and [[Alon Cohen]]. It specialised in privileged access management and related identity controls. In a June 2026 ''Ctech'' interview after the merger closed, Mokady said Cohen "enlisted in the IDF's central computer and information systems unit, and I joined Unit 8200, before it was considered a glamorous unit." Mokady founded and led the company for about twenty-seven years through roles including COO, CEO, president and chairman.<ref name="CtechCA">Diana Bahur Nir, [https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/byhdcd11fgg "There's a price where you have to say yes": CyberArk founder on the $25 billion Palo Alto deal], ''Ctech'', 18 June 2026.</ref>
