CyberArk was founded in 1999 in Israel[5][6] by current Executive Chairman Udi Mokady[7] and Alon N. Cohen. They assembled a team of security engineers who implemented the digital vault technology (U.S. patent 6,356,941).
In June 2014, CyberArk filed for an Initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, listing 2013 revenues of $66.2 million.[8] CyberArk became a public company the same year, trading on the NASDAQ as CYBR.[9] In the years following its IPO, CyberArk made a string of security acquisitions.

- 2024: CyberArk announced the planned acquisition of Venafi from private equity firm Thoma Bravo for a combination of $1 billion in cash and around $540 million in stock; the deal is expected to close by the end of 2024.[14]
