About CyberArk Secure Cloud Access
CyberArk Secure Access Cloud provides secure, native access to cloud environments. It focuses on offering zero-standing privileges, which means users only get access when needed, reducing the risk of unauthorized sessions. This service benefits developers, site reliability engineers (SREs), and administrators who need to securely access cloud services.
CyberArk Secure Cloud Access Features
Granular Control
Allows precise control over time, entitlements, and approvals for access.
Native Access
Ensures seamless integration with cloud consoles and command-line interfaces (CLI).
Zero Trust Principles
Implements least privilege access to enhance security.
CyberArk Secure Cloud Access Benefits
-
Enhanced security
The solution allows removing permissions and granting entitlements just-in-time (JIT), which provides numerous advantages for organizations. By granting access only when it’s needed and revoking it immediately afterward, JIT minimizes the window of opportunity for attackers to exploit elevated permissions. This proactive approach significantly reduces the attack surface, helping prevent unauthorized access.
-
Global access policies
Set a centralized, secure policy to define how users access cloud consoles. Consistent security measures across all cloud resources reduce the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. The centralized approach streamlines managing user permissions and access controls, making it easier for IT teams to enforce policies and quickly respond to security incidents.
-
Native cloud access
Secure native access to multi-cloud consoles ensures Zero Standing Privileges, preventing any user from maintaining permanent access to critical systems. Native access means users can interact with cloud consoles directly without additional software or agents.
-
Dynamic break-glass access
Dynamic break-glass access provides an organization’s engineers with a secure and flexible way to handle emergency access to critical systems. Many regulatory frameworks require organizations to have emergency access procedures in place, so this approach also helps ensure compliance.
-
Seamless integration
CyberArk allows integration with the service desk or ChatOps tooling to handle access requests efficiently. The platform also integrates with various cloud environments, providing secure, native access to cloud consoles without requiring additional agents. This simplifies user experience and reduces the complexity of managing multiple tools.
