Palo Alto Networks Completes Acquisition of CyberArk to Secure the AI Era

Adds the leading platform that delivers unified security for human, machine and agentic identity.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., February 11, 2026—Palo Alto Networks^® (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced the completion of its acquisition of CyberArk, establishing Identity Security as a core pillar of its platformization strategy. The addition of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform enables Palo Alto Networks to secure every identity across the enterprise - human, machine, and agentic.

Identity security has become foundational to protecting the modern enterprise. As organizations scale cloud, automation, and AI, identity has emerged as the primary attack path, driven by the rapid growth of human, machine, and AI identities operating continuously with elevated access. Machine identities now outnumber human identities by more than 80 to 1, while 75% of organizations acknowledge their human identities are governed by outdated, overly permissive privilege models. Attackers increasingly exploit identity weaknesses, making credential abuse and excessive privilege the dominant threat vectors. Nearly 90% of organizations have already suffered an identity-centric breach.


The acquisition of CyberArk addresses this shift by extending privilege security controls beyond a narrow set of administrators to every identity across the enterprise. The acquisition of CyberArk addresses this shift by extending privilege security controls beyond a narrow set of administrators to every identity across the enterprise. By democratizing privileged access across human,

machine and AI identities, organizations can reduce standing privileges, limit lateral movement and stop identity-based attacks faster. Companies using identity-driven security controls can accelerate breach response by up to 80% by preventing attackers from abusing credentials and excessive access.

CyberArk’s Identity Security solutions will continue to be available as a standalone platform. In addition, integration is underway to infuse CyberArk’s best-in-class capabilities into the Palo Alto Networks security ecosystem. Existing customers will experience no disruption and will benefit from an accelerated roadmap focused on resilience, operational efficiency and improved security outcomes.

Nikesh Arora, Chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks, said:

“The emerging wave of AI agents will require us to secure every identity—human, machine, and agent. This is why we moved decisively by announcing our intent to acquire CyberArk last July and am excited to have product integration begin. For our customers, this means the end of ‘identity silos.’ They can now manage privileged access across their entire hybrid cloud environment from the same company they trust for Network Security and Security Operations—to ensure they are secure in the AI era.”

Matt Cohen, CEO of CyberArk, said:

“Joining forces with Palo Alto Networks creates the definitive cyber guardian for the modern enterprise. This is a win-win: our customers gain access to the world’s most comprehensive security portfolio, and our employees join a global innovation engine. Together, we are creating the most robust combination of proven technologies to stop identity-driven breaches.”

PANW announces intent to dual-list on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE)

Building on CyberArk’s heritage and Israel’s position as a global cybersecurity powerhouse, Palo Alto Networks announces its intent to pursue a secondary listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). As part of this historic move, the company plans to adopt the “CYBR” ticker on the TASE, providing a world-class tribute to the brand CyberArk built while ensuring its identity remains a cornerstone of the global strategy.

Palo Alto Networks will continue to be listed and trade under the “PANW” ticker on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. This listing would position Palo Alto Networks as the largest company listed on the TASE by market cap. This commitment further solidifies the company’s Israeli R&D center, already its largest outside of Silicon Valley, as a primary global innovation hub dedicated to securing the future of the AI era.

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the agreement, CyberArk shareholders are entitled to receive $45.00 in cash and 2.2005 shares of Palo Alto Networks common stock for each CyberArk ordinary share.

Q2 Earnings Call Detail
