CyberArk Privileged Account Security

Its well suited to improve compliance & risk associated in the environment. CyberArk Privileged Account Security have robust product functionality and strong customer focus.

Well suited where you have cross collaboration among admins/users. This enables the storage of passwords in one place without being stored on notepads. It integrates with Okta SSO for an additional layer of security.
It has minimum complexity requirements and has detailed monitoring - you need to state a reason to see the password.

I always recommend CyberArk based on my experiences at several different jobs and industries. It does a great job of helping you create all kinds of use cases and approval flows for accessing and using privileged accounts. It also does a great job securing local admin passwords on servers. End-users of the system are able to quickly and easily start utilizing the more secure method of obtaining credentials in minimal time with minimal overhead/tax on their work time.

CyberArk is great when you're making changes to a system on a server. You can record your session and if anything was done in error, you can replay the session to see what was done. I especially like this feature when we're doing system upgrades.

CyberArk keeps all the local and domain passwords for us. They are changed regularly. That ensures that they are stored company-wide and accessible for approved persons. At the same time, because they are changed as example on a weekly or monthly basis, the passwords and the admin access is better protected against hacking.

It should be used by organizations who are dealing with customer- or finance-related data, where there is a lot of focus on managing regulatory compliance. Organizations who outsource their IT/Marketing activities to vendors must use CyberArk to control any potential data leakage or theft, which can reflect a very negative brand image.

Cyber Ark is well suited for protecting all privileged accounts and auditing the usage of those accounts. It is an integral part of protecting sensitive credentials.

It works well when an organization needs to keep track and randomize admin accounts. Also, it works better than LAPS for local workstation admin account management. It will allow for more than just one account. The auditing is robust vs. LAPS. Not a good solution for a small business. Too big of a tool for that scenario.

The system is great for enterprise or larger IT departments or teams where temporary or full access may be given using privileged IDs. Requirements for needing local admin access is also eliminated which can help with specific Windows workstation related tasks.

It can be very useful when working with remote teams or contractors who may need temporary access to a system when required.
