In what way does CyberArk monitor the usage of privileged accounts?

CyberArk monitors the usage of privileged accounts primarily by tracking all actions taken during privileged sessions. This robust tracking capability is essential for security and compliance, as it allows organizations to maintain an accurate and comprehensive log of activities performed by users who hold privileged access.

Through session recording and detailed auditing, CyberArk provides insights into what actions are taken during these sessions, enabling organizations to identify potential misuse, investigate incidents, and verify that actions align with organizational policies and compliance requirements. This visibility is critical in safeguarding sensitive environments and mitigating the risks associated with privileged access.

Other methods, such as unrestricted access or only monitoring during specific hours, do not provide the necessary oversight and could lead to vulnerabilities and compliance issues. Therefore, the comprehensive tracking of actions during privileged sessions is a foundational feature of CyberArk’s security framework.
