The identity security vendor was founded in 1999 and has around 9,000 customers across various industries. While CyberArk historically sold its security solutions primarily via on-premises licenses, over the past few years it has transitioned to a subscription recurring-revenue model.

LPL Financial is the largest US independent broker-dealer, with nearly 29,000 financial advisors affiliated with its platform and roughly 10 million associated customer accounts at the end of 2024.

LPL specializes in the provision of turnkey wealth management services for affiliated independent advisors, but maintains a diverse array of affiliation modalities, running the gamut from more traditional employee models to a pure RIA custody approach. It earns tuck-in revenue from recordkeeping fees and the provision of software tools and services to its advisor base.
