On July 30, Palo Alto Networks announced its intent to acquire CyberArk, a leader in identity security and privileged access management. The move sent ripples through the cybersecurity world — and for good reason. Two major enterprise players joining forces will likely reshape the Identity & Access Management (IAM) landscape.
But let’s call it like it is: while this deal might excite large enterprises and Wall Street analysts, for many SMBs and MSPs, the announcement raises real questions. Where do you fit in this new picture? What happens when an identity security leader known for enterprise focus becomes part of an even bigger enterprise juggernaut?
We’re not here to speculate — we’re here to support
Let’s be honest: no one outside of Palo Alto and CyberArk knows exactly what changes are coming. But if you’re a small IT team, a growing MSP, or a security-conscious business without an enterprise-sized budgets, then you’re wise to pause and re-evaluate your next steps. And that’s where Devolutions comes in.
What this means for Devolutions
We believe that this acquisition represents a turning point in the market, and an opportunity for us to lead where others consolidate. This means:
- We remain laser-focused on serving SMBs and MSPs. While others pivot to high-revenue enterprise accounts, we will continue delivering powerful, affordable tools for small teams.
- We are investing more than ever. This major event is accelerating our roadmap. You can expect more innovation, better automation, and usability that doesn’t require a dedicated security team.
- We continue to lead with clarity. We’re building practical, transparent security tools for businesses that need to get things done — fast.
Our message to SMBs: We’ve always been here for you, and that’s not changing
We aren’t adjusting our roadmap. We’re doubling down on it!
- We build enterprise-grade tools, for non-enterprise budgets. Whether you need secure workforce password management, remote access control, remote connection management, or full privileged access management, our solutions are built to be powerful, easy to deploy, and cost-effective for smaller teams. For example our new Starter Pack delivers the full feature set of our core security solutions — for teams of up to 5 — at a price that SMBs can easily afford.
- We don’t sell fear or confusion — we offer clarity. You won’t get upsold into bloated bundles or licenses that you don’t need. Our team helps you find the right fit and avoids pushing features that don’t serve your goals.
- We treat every business like a VIP — because you are. Whether you have five users or 50, our support team is accessible, responsive, and invested in your success. You don’t need a massive IT budget to be taken seriously or treated like a VIP around here.
Our message to MSPs: Your agility is your edge. We’re here to amplify it
We know your business isn’t built around mega-deals and long, complex deployments. You need tools that help you move fast, onboard clients smoothly, and protect endpoints without adding overhead. That’s exactly what Devolutions delivers. You can continue to count on us for:
- A complete toolkit for growing MSPs: Our solutions remote connection management, password vaulting, and privileged access control.
- Support that gets it: You’re juggling SLAs, tight timelines, and multiple clients. We provide real, practical help that lets you keep your commitments, and win new clients.
- Expertise you can rely on: In addition to expert product knowledge, we provide real-world insight into what small and mid-size providers need to succeed.
Still using CyberArk? We’ve got you covered
If you're an SMB or MSP and wish to continue with CyberArk without going full enterprise, then don’t worry: our integration with CyberArk is still fully supported. And yes — we plan to keep supporting this integration for the long haul. Why? Because if it helps small businesses and MSPs stay secure and efficient, we're all in.
Final thoughts: Change is coming, but some things endure
Mergers and acquisitions are a fact of life in cybersecurity. But consolidation at the top often leaves smaller organizations underserved, overlooked, and priced out. If CyberArk shifts focus — or if prices go up and flexibility goes down — then be assured that we are on your team and by your side. Devolutions is, and always has been, built for SMBs and MSPs.
