This article describes the user interface (UI) features of the CyberArk (SaaS and On-premises) connection in Fortanix Key Insight.
2.0 Terminology References
For CyberArk concepts and supported features, refer to CyberArk Connection Concepts.
3.0 CyberArk Connection - Overview
Users can access the CyberArk connection Overview page after adding a CyberArk SaaS or On-premises connection. The Overview page displays the certificates discovered within the CyberArk environment based on the applied Fortanix Key Insight policy.
For more information on the Fortanix Key Insight policy, refer to Cryptographic Policy Management.
NOTE
If your Fortanix Armor account is deactivated and you are accessing the Fortanix Key Insight CyberArk connection, you will not be able to view data under the Overview, Assessments, or Certificates pages. You will only have access to view and delete items within the Connections, Policy Center, and Authentication pages.
If the count of the certificates before the scan does not match the count of the CyberArk certificates displayed on the Overview page:
Verify that the CyberArk platform is properly configured before running the scan.
After verification, initiate a re-scan using the RESCAN option on the Overview page. For more information, refer to Section 5.0: Rescan a CyberArk Connection.

3.2 Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM)
This section describes how to export cryptographic asset metadata from a CyberArk connection into a standardized CBOM JSON file. The exported CBOM file helps you to maintain a cryptographic inventory, demonstrate regulatory compliance, and evaluate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness.
To export the CBOM data, click EXPORT.
A file named bom_report_<CyberArk_scan_id>.json is downloaded to your local system, where CyberArk_scan_id is the unique identifier generated for each scan.
For example,
The exported file adheres to the CycloneDX specification and includes the following components:
bomFormat: Specifies the format of the bill of materials. For CBOM, this value is set to CycloneDX.specVersion: Indicates the version of the CycloneDX specification used.version: The version of the generated CBOM file.components: Lists cryptographic components such as certificates. Each entry includes details such as type, name, algorithm, associated services, and so on.services: Describes the CyberArk resources that interact with the listed cryptographic components. Each service includes details such as its name and Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).dependencies: Defines relationships between certificates and resources, representing how cryptographic elements are interconnected or used together.
NOTE
If your CyberArk connection was last scanned before the Fortanix Key Insight 26.01 release and has not been rescanned, you must perform a Rescan to ensure the correct CBOM.
For more information on how to perform a rescan, refer to Section 5.0: Rescan a CyberArk Connection.
