CyberArk Privileged Account Security

CyberArk Privileged Account Security provides robust and resilient for enterprise level deployments and it is one of the nice PAM solutions out there. It works well with both Windows and Linux systems.

We use CyberArk across our IT department to manage passwords to privileged accounts. We also use it to manage non-rotating passwords to applications that require administrator-level access.

It solved for:
1. Rotation of passwords while maintaining the minimum requirements for the password. We automatically rotate admin-role passwords after x number of days and maintain complexity.
2. Password storage: Due to the cross-collaborative environment, we needed a location to store passwords for different applications.
3. Different Safes: Not all passwords should be seen by others - the concept of safes in Cyberark helped with RBA type control.
4. Monitoring/Alerting/Reporting

We utilize CyberArk for privileged account management for sensitive and shared accounts across our technology organization. We utilize it for local admin passwords across multiple datacenters as well as any other set of credentials that might be utilized by multiple people. We use it to control, monitor and govern sensitive account usages and to ensure that nobody knows the password as much of the time as is possible.

We currently use CyberArk across the whole organization. We use it to manage our privileged accounts and our service accounts. It is also used for recording sessions that our Non-IT staff use when remoting into a server.

CyberArk Privileged Account Security helps a lot to maintain security by automatically changing passwords for our supported systems.

It also stores and manages passwords company-wide. That's really making admins lives' much easier. Also rarely used passwords are in one place and you don't have to search for them a long time. CyberArk itself can be secured by AD authentication combined with RAS two-factor authentication.

We are using CyberArk to manage the privilege accounts in our organization. It is being used by a specific department that deals with critical data sources.

Cyber Ark is being used across the entire enterprise. It is used for administration credential protection and application integration to protect secrets and service accounts. This solution is solving the business problem of ensuring our most sensitive access is protected and we have a strong audit tool for when credentials are used.

It is used to check out highly privileged accounts with a randomized password. Being scaled to entire organization. It solves the problem of highly privileged accounts with a static password. If one of the accounts is compromised the password has an expiration and minimizes the amount of damage that can be done by limiting the time the account is active.

CyberArk is a great means to access and securely store passwords for a remote support team or third-party vendors. The version control and access controls help with analyzing who is accessing what and when, while having strong delegation controls. This is particularly helpful with providing access to other users or administrators to systems that may require temporary access or to a vendor to access when troubleshooting.
