Ernie Rhyne
Vice President, US Public Sector, CyberArk
CyberArk’s biggest recent achievement is its impact and growth supporting service members on projects across the Department of War and system integrators, said Ernie Rhyne. The company has expanded its ability to manage user access across systems while underscoring the importance of securing every identity with the right level of privilege controls.
CyberArk has embraced solutions that modernize operations and reduce workload. That includes automating tasks and compliance processes to save staff time for higher priorities. All efforts center on zero trust and ensuring appropriate access to sensitive and privileged data.
David McFarland, CyberArk SVP Americas, said:
“Identity Security isn’t something you buy, it’s something you do, and it takes talented people to do it right. Ernie stands out as a true guardian of public trust and integrity. His leadership in spearheading the Public Sector Team here at CyberArk has helped drive impactful risk mitigation and deliver valuable, measurable outcomes across all our public sector customers. His relentless focus on detail, with a customer-first mindset, is echoed throughout his entire team.”
Why Watch
In FY25/26, Rhyne’s team is focused on helping customers secure what proliferating human and machine identities can access while using AI to automate business processes and provide deeper insights for IT and the SOC.
“As we continue to see threats to our nation’s infrastructure and government services, “There is no higher privilege than to serve and secure our customers who serve service members and our citizens,'” he said. “Identity security is National Security.”
Fun fact: Outside work, Rhyne is passionate about traveling and exposing his family to cultures and histories around the world.
