Across the Middle East, governments and businesses are embracing AI as a cornerstone of national transformation strategies. From the UAE’s National AI Strategy to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, AI is being deployed to enhance productivity, improve citizen services, and drive economic diversification. However, as organizations scale AI use, particularly through large language models and autonomous agents—the risk of identity-based threats and privilege sprawl increases sharply.
To address these challenges, CyberArk, the global identity security leader, has announced that its Secure Cloud Access (SCA) MCP Server and Agent Guard solutions are now available in the new AI Agents and Tools category of AWS Marketplace. This availability enables enterprises to securely adopt agentic AI technologies at scale using their existing AWS environments, accelerating innovation while maintaining governance and control.
These tools are part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform and are designed to help organizations protect privileged access to AI agents. Recent CyberArk research found that 68% of enterprises lack effective identity security controls for AI, highlighting a growing blind spot in enterprise security architectures. Without such controls, organizations risk losing visibility and control in increasingly complex multi-cloud environments.
Peretz Regev, Chief Product Officer at CyberArk, emphasized that the transformative promise of agentic AI can quickly become a liability if not implemented with the right security measures. He noted that SCA MCP Server and Agent Guard enable enterprises to enforce Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) and prevent excessive access from being embedded within cloud and development environments—supporting scalable, AI-first operations without compromising security.
Enhancing Security in AI-Driven Workflows
The CyberArk SCA MCP Server is engineered to embed ZSP into cloud-native tools, helping to eliminate risks from persistent entitlements, unmanaged AI agents, and credential sprawl. It provides scoped access to AI assistants such as Amazon Q and Anthropic’s Claude, while enforcing strong auditability and role-based access control (RBAC).
Meanwhile, CyberArk Agent Guard, now available as open source, allows developers to securely integrate AI agents with secret management tools such as AWS Secrets Manager and CyberArk Secrets Manager. It brings real-time observability into LLM tool usage, capturing metadata and generating insights to support compliance and performance optimization.
Key Capabilities Include:
- SCA MCP Server
- Zero Standing Privilege enforcement across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Secure, on-demand AI assistant access from IDEs and CLIs
- Least-privilege controls for human and machine identities in CI/CD pipelines
- Detailed logging and auditing for regulatory compliance
- Agent Guard
- Real-time monitoring of LLM and tool interactions
- Graph-based analysis of tool behavior and performance
- Input, argument, and metadata logging for transparency
- Seamless compatibility with multiple AI frameworks and secret providers
Simplified Access Through AWS Marketplace
By offering these tools via AWS Marketplace, CyberArk is making it easier for organizations to discover, purchase, and deploy identity-centric AI security solutions. With centralized procurement and licensing through AWS accounts, enterprises can shorten vendor evaluation cycles and gain greater visibility over costs, access, and compliance.
As Middle Eastern enterprises expand their use of AI across public and private sectors, the need for secure-by-design infrastructure is more urgent than ever. CyberArk’s latest offerings align with regional ambitions to lead in AI adoption ensuring that innovation proceeds with the necessary safeguards in place.
