How Does CyberArk Work?

CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security includes layers of security (like firewalls, VPNs, authentication, access control and encryption) that act as a barrier against cybercrime. These layers protect two primary elements of CyberArk’s architecture.

Privileged Session Manager (PSM)

Privileged accounts hold immense power in an organization. From an IT perspective, it’s crucial to ensure users are using their access appropriately—especially third-party vendors.

CyberArk PSM acts as a central point that allows you to:

• Increase your control of privileged accounts.
• Protect target systems in your data center.
• Increase visibility to administrative activity.
• And more.
