Summary:
CyberArk's Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution is a critical security tool designed to manage, monitor, and protect privileged accounts and credentials in an organization. The primary purpose of CyberArk's PAM is to safeguard against threats posed by compromised privileged credentials, which are a common attack vector in significant security breaches. This solution provides a secure environment for handling privileged accounts, ensuring that sensitive operations and data are only accessible to authorized personnel under strict controls. CyberArk is particularly beneficial for organizations with complex IT environments, as it helps to prevent unauthorized access, reduce insider threats, and meet compliance requirements by providing robust management of privileged credentials and sessions.
Key Features:
- Secure Credential Storage: Provides a centralized vault to securely store and manage sensitive credentials and secrets.
- Session Monitoring and Recording: Monitors and records privileged sessions to detect suspicious activities and ensure accountability.
- Least Privilege Enforcement: Enforces the principle of least privilege by granting users minimal access necessary to perform their duties.
- Multi-Factor Authentication for Privileged Accounts: Integrates multi-factor authentication to enhance the security of privileged account access.
- Automated Credential Rotation and Management: Automatically rotates and manages credentials to reduce the risk of credential theft or misuse.
