PRIVILEGED ACCOUNT SECURITY SOLUTION
Know the Path of an Attack and Block it with Privileged Account Security
Privileged accounts represent the largest security vulnerability an organization faces today. These powerful accounts are used in nearly every cyber-attack, and they allow anyone who gains possession of them to control organization resources, disable security systems, and access vast amounts of sensitive data.
To protect these accounts and the critical resources they provide access to, organizations need comprehensive controls in place to protect, monitor, detect and respond to all privileged account activity.
CyberArk is the trusted expert in privileged account security. Designed from the ground up for security, the CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution provides the most comprehensive solution for on-premises, cloud and ICS environments. This complete enterprise-ready Privileged Account Security Solution is tamper-resistant, scalable and built for complex distributed environments to provide the utmost protection from advanced external and insider threats.
Organizations implement proactive controls that lock down privileged account passwords and SSH keys. By storing these credentials securely, restricting access to them, and automatically rotating them, organizations can reduce unauthorized use of privileged accounts.
Organizations secure and control privileged sessions with session isolation. This creates separation between an administrator’s endpoint and critical assets, ensuring that malware on a user’s endpoint cannot spread to a target asset. Session isolation also prevents privileged credentials from ever being seen by the user or reaching and being stored on a potentially compromised endpoint.
Organizations limit administrative and super-user rights on servers and endpoints to mitigate intentional and accidental misuse of excessive privileges. Least privilege enforcement enables organizations to reduce the attack surface while also enabling users to remain productive by easily requesting elevated privileges when necessary. Organizations may also secure endpoints by closely controlling and monitoring applications via whitelist, blacklist, and “greylist” (restricting unknown applications).
Organizations implement continuous monitoring of all privileged account use, including live monitoring as well as behavioral analytics. Should an attacker manage to hijack a privileged account, continuous monitoring capabilities can help an organization detect the malicious behavior based on events or patterns of events that fall outside baselines generated specifically for the authorized user. Compromises can be addressed promptly by automatically rotating credentials or otherwise preventing continued unauthorized access to the affected privileged accounts.
