# **Identity-Aware Access**⏎ **vs. CyberArk**

CyberArk secures privileged assets using complex credential vaulting and session
gateways. Agilicus AnyX provides a lightweight, clientless, identity-aware Layer
7 proxy.

Discover why a native, software-only Zero Trust proxy is superior to legacy credential
vaults and multi-component session managers for secure remote connectivity.

## The Fundamental Difference

The choice between Agilicus and CyberArk is a choice between native Layer 7 application
access and legacy Privileged Access Management.

### Agilicus AnyX

Understands Application layer like HTTP, VNC, SSH. Can block password stuffing, 
restrict specific URLs, and protect individual files. Users never touch the network.

### CyberArk (PAM)

A complex, vault-centric architecture built to rotate credentials and proxy administrative
sessions. It requires heavy gateways, specialized apps, and extensive management
overhead.

Heavy Gateway / Session Manager

*With CyberArk, sessions must be proxied through dedicated session managers and 
HTML5 gateways using vaulted credentials. Agilicus strictly leverages native single
sign-on (Entra, Okta, Google Workspace) to establish direct, secure Layer 7 sessions
with zero credentials stored or vaulted.
