The Brown Capital Management International All-Company Strategy stated the following regarding CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CYBR) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“CyberArk Software Ltd. (NASDAQ:CYBR), an Israeli company, is the leader in the quickly growing Privileged Access Management (PAM) market, which seeks to monitor, control and isolate access to “superuser” computer and network accounts. These superuser accounts are used for logging into a company’s most critical assets, such as database servers, firewalls, switches, etc. PAM is at the core of the broader identity-management space. While identity management often works to fend off “bad guys,” PAM works under the assumption that bad guys are already on a network and instead minimizes their ability to exploit a company’s key assets. PAM helps to reduce malware infections and the risk of downtime. According to Forrester, 80% of security breaches involve privileged credentials.

On July 30, CyberArk announced that its board of directors agreed to an acquisition offer by U.S.-based Palo Alto Networks (PANW), a global cybersecurity leader. The mixed offer for cash and stock had a value of $25 billion at the time of the announcement and reflected a 26% premium to the unaffected 10-day average daily share price. Market leadership in PAM and the theme of vendor consolidation have been tailwinds for our CyberArk investment thesis. Palo Alto’s acquisition follows that theme. We have begun gradually reducing our position in CyberArk following this announcement.”
