CyberArk: Database discovery and automated onboarding
We’re excited to announce a new capability in our discovery SaaS, which extends support to databases. This enhancement enables teams to seamlessly uncover, secure, and onboard database accounts with greater efficiency. Security teams can now accelerate onboarding at scale, reduce manual effort, and ensure database credentials are continuously rotated and tightly controlled.
Key highlights:
- Targeted scanning: Run discovery scans using a CSV list of targets containing access details.
- Dynamic credential utilization: The scan automatically fetches relevant vaulted credentials at runtime, based on target data.
- Centralized discovery flow: Accounts identified during scans are routed into the Discovered Accounts area, making it simple to review and vault them together with other discoveries.
- Automated remediation rules: Define onboarding rules to automatically vault and manage discovered accounts.
- End-to-end coverage: From discovery → onboarding → rotation and access services, database accounts are fully managed in one streamlined workflow.
Supported databases:
- MS SQL Server
- Oracle
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL

SailPoint: MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server update
SailPoint has just introduced the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, and this could be a game changer for how we handle access requests. In short, the MCP Server acts as a standardised bridge between AI applications and SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud (ISC). Instead of needing heavy custom integration or multiple request centers, it gives you a ready-made interface to connect AI tools directly into SailPoint. That means access requests can finally become as simple as asking an assistant in plain language, without dropping enterprise security standards.
Key Benefits:
- Quick Integration: quickly connect AI applications to SailPoint in 5-15 minutes without complex custom development.
- Natural Language Processing: Enable conversational access request at scale.
- Future-Proof Architecture: Built on MCP standard and regular updates to ensure compatibility with emerging AI platforms and security.
- Enterprise-grade: Maintains SailPoint’s proven IAM expertise and enterprise-grade scalability and security.
Getting Started:
- SailPoint Identity Security Cloud access is required.
- Choose integration approach based on technical requirements.
- Setup authentication following provided guides (coming soon).
- Begin building AI-powered access management experiences
Important Dates:
- General Availability: Sept 29, 2025
- Integration Documentation: Sept 29, 2025
- Expanded Toolkit: 6-12 months post-GA for expanded MCP tools
