What is Cyberark PAS (Privilege Access Security) Solution?

The Cyberark Core Privileged Access Security Solution provides organizations with the ability to take a risk-based credential protection and session management to prevent and mitigate attacks involving privileged access.

Core Part of PAS 

1- DISCOVER AND MANAGE CREDENTIALS

Continuously scan the environment (Platforms like OS, Apps, Devices etc.) to detect privileged access. Validate privilege by adding discovered accounts to a pending queue or automatically onboard and rotate accounts and credentials based on enterprise policy.

2- ISOLATE CREDENTIALS AND SESSIONS

Establish a secure control point to prevent credential exposure and isolate critical assets from end users with transparent connections to target systems via a variety of native workflows.

3- RECORD AND AUDIT SESSIONS

Automatically record and store privileged sessions within a centralized encrypted repository. Prioritize auditing recorded and active sessions with video playback that streamlines reviewing the most suspicious activity.

4- MONITOR PRIVILEGED ACTIVITY

Administrators can view specific activities or keystrokes within video recordings. Detect and alert SOC and IT teams of anomalous behavior that bypasses or circumvents privileged controls.

5- REMEDIATE RISKY BEHAVIOR

Automatically suspend or terminate privileged sessions based on risk assignment, and initiate automatic credential rotation in the event of privileged compromise or theft.

Note: Above mention operations done by CyberArk individual components like (Vault, CPM, PVWA, PSM & PTA). I will explain all these components later in another page
