What is the benefit of CyberArk’s automatic session monitoring?

The benefit of CyberArk’s automatic session monitoring primarily lies in its ability to maintain compliance and provide a detailed audit trail of privileged activities. This feature is crucial for organizations that handle sensitive data and must adhere to regulatory standards. It enables real-time monitoring of user sessions, allowing security teams to track actions taken during access to privileged accounts.

By capturing detailed logs and recordings of user sessions, CyberArk helps organizations demonstrate compliance with various regulations, such as GDPR or HIPAA, which often require thorough documentation of who accessed what resources and when. This audit trail is invaluable for forensic investigations, incident response, and validating security postures during audits.

Furthermore, the visibility provided by automatic session monitoring allows organizations to identify potential misuses of privileges or non-compliant behavior, which enhances overall security governance.
