What is the typical licensing model for CyberArk EPM?

The typical licensing model for CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) is based on per-user or per-endpoint licenses. This structure allows organizations to scale their security solutions according to the number of users or endpoints that require protection. By adopting this model, CyberArk ensures that companies can efficiently allocate their resources while effectively managing endpoint privileges for their workforce.

Per-user licensing means that each individual user who utilizes the EPM solution needs a corresponding license, which can be particularly advantageous for organizations with fluctuating staff levels or varying access needs. In addition, per-endpoint licensing is ideal for environments where devices rather than individual users are key factors in deploying endpoint security measures. This flexibility accommodates various operational requirements and allows for better management of privilege escalation on both personal devices and company-owned assets.

Other models, such as a one-time flat fee or monthly subscription for all users, do not reflect the specific needs of businesses in managing their users' and endpoints' access privileges. An application-centric licensing approach would limit the scope of security management to individual applications rather than providing comprehensive protection across an entire user base or range of devices.
