What is the role of CyberArk’s Session Manager?

The role of CyberArk’s Session Manager centers on monitoring and controlling privileged sessions in real-time. This functionality is critical because it helps organizations safeguard sensitive information and manage risks associated with privileged account usage. By providing oversight during sessions, Session Manager ensures that all actions taken within those sessions can be logged, audited, and, if necessary, interrupted or terminated if any suspicious or unauthorized activities are detected.

This capability enhances the security posture of an organization by allowing for granular control over privileged access, ensuring that only authorized actions are permitted in real-time. In addition to monitoring, Session Manager can record sessions, providing a valuable resource for reviewing activities and supporting compliance efforts.

Other options touch on relevant aspects of CyberArk's suite of products but do not encompass the primary focus of Session Manager. For instance, automating password changes pertains to a different tool within CyberArk's offerings, while enforcing security policies is a broader function that encompasses several tools and processes beyond just session management. Storing sensitive data securely also relates to different components of CyberArk, such as the Digital Vault, rather than the specific operational role of Session Manager.
