CyberArk’s biggest recent achievement is its impact and growth supporting service members on projects across the Defense Department and system integrators, said Ernie Rhyne. The company expanded its ability to manage user access across systems while underscoring the importance of securing every identity with the right level of privilege controls.

David McFarland, CyberArk senior vice president of 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.”
