Within the CyberArk Admin Portal under User Security Policies, the Account Unlock options allow administrators to set policies for how users can unlock their accounts:

• The option to allow for Active Directory users provides the capability for users who utilize Active Directory as their directory service to unlock their own accounts, often necessary after an account has been locked due to multiple failed login attempts.
• The restriction to only allow browsers with an identity cookie helps enhance security by ensuring that account unlock requests come from a browser that has already been recognized by the system, indicating a previous successful login, and thus a lower risk of fraudulent unlock attempts.
• Showing a message to users on the desktop login UI that their account is locked is a direct way to inform users who are attempting to log in from their desktops that their account is currently inaccessible and action may be needed on their part.
• The message explaining the account unlock experience is a user-friendly notification that informs users who have gone through the unlock process that their sign-in experience was different due to the account having been locked and subsequently unlocked, which can be a reminder of the security processes in place and the importance of maintaining secure login credentials.

CyberArk can enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for VPNs using the RADIUS and SAML protocols. This allows organizations to secure remote access to their corporate network, on-premises applications, and resources by applying an additional layer of authentication. For VPNs or VDI solutions that support these protocols, CyberArk’s MFA can be integrated to enhance security. Examples of VPN solutions that support RADIUS or SAML include Cisco, Juniper Networks, Citrix, and Palo Alto Networks. Additionally, SAML can be used to enable single sign-on to a VPN’s web interface, gateways, or portals.

References: CyberArk’s official documentation provides detailed information on how MFA can be applied to VPNs and VDIs, specifically mentioning the support for RADIUS and SAML protocols1.

In the context of device enrollment settings within CyberArk's solution:

A.Send notification on device enrollment:This is a valid setting that enables administrators to be notified when a device is enrolled. It is important for maintaining visibility over the devices being added to the system.

B.Enable invite-based enrollment:This setting is valid and allows for a controlled enrollment process where users can only enroll their devices after receiving an invite. This helps in managing and securing the enrollment process by ensuring that only authorized devices are added.

When users are unable to enroll into the system using the enrollment code, it could be due to limitations on the number of endpoints that can join or lack of clarity in the enrollment process. By setting the maximum number of joinable endpoints to “unlimited”, you remove any restrictions on the number of devices that can be enrolled with the same code. Adding a description within the enrollment code can provide users with additional context or instructions, which may help them during the enrollment process.

References: The information is based on general best practices for managing endpoint authentication and enrollment processes. For the most accurate and detailed information, please refer to the latest CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials and documents. Specific details about managing authentication certificates and enrollment can be found in the CyberArk documentation12.

To automatically create user accounts in Salesforce with varying licenses via CyberArk Identity, one must follow a sequential process starting with the verification of provisioning credentials. This is the foundation for ensuring that the provisioning process has the necessary permissions and access to make changes in Salesforce. Once verified, provisioning must be enabled on the Salesforce application within CyberArk Identity, which allows the two systems to communicate and transfer data.

Following this, roles need to be created within CyberArk Identity that corresponds to different Salesforce licenses or entitlements. Roles in CyberArk Identity define the access level and permissions that a user account will have when provisioned into Salesforce.

After roles are established, role mappings are added. Role mappings are associations between the CyberArk roles and Salesforce licenses. This tells CyberArk Identity which Salesforce license to assign when it creates a new user account based on the role that has been assigned to the user in CyberArk.

Finally, the synchronization step is initiated. During synchronization, CyberArk Identity communicates with Salesforce to create user accounts with the appropriate licenses as defined by the role mappings. Synchronization ensures that the user accounts in both systems are up-to-date and that any changes in roles or permissions are reflected accurately in Salesforce.

 MFA filters can be used in various scenarios within the CyberArk Defender Access environment to enhance security. Specifically, they can be applied to the User and Admin Portal login to ensure that multi-factor authentication is required for access, providing an additional layer of security beyond just a username and password. At the application level, 2FA/MFA can be enforced to protect sensitive applications by requiring users to authenticate with multiple factors before gaining access. Additionally, MFA filters can be utilized for self-service password reset processes, ensuring that users are who they claim to be before allowing them to change their passwords.

References: The information provided is based on the CyberArk Defender Access documentation, which outlines the use of MFA filters in securing access to portals and applications, as well as safeguarding password reset procedures12.

The “Land and Catch” feature is supported by browsers that are compatible with the CyberArk Identity Browser Extension. This feature allows users to add applications to their User Portal by recognizing when users enter credentials and offering to store the user’s credentials. The supported browsers for this feature are Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge12.

References: The information about supported browsers for the “Land and Catch” feature can be found in the CyberArk public documentation and the CyberArk training resources123. It’s important to note that the Browser Extension for Internet Explorer and Safari is deprecated, which means these browsers are no longer supported for new features like "Land and Catch"2.

 Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) and FIDO2 Authentication are two methods that can enable a user to bypass the default authentication rules and profile when logging on to the User Portal. IWA allows users to authenticate using their Windows credentials, which can be configured to bypass additional authentication challenges. FIDO2 is a modern authentication standard that supports passwordless authentication, which can also be set up to bypass the default authentication mechanisms.

References: The information is based on CyberArk’s official documentation, which provides details on configuring multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the User Portal and the ability to bypass user authentication for launching applications12.

• Role Management, such as add user to role: can be performed in the Admin Portal
• Report Management, such as create, delete, and run reports: can be performed in the Admin Portal
• CyberArk Identity User Behavior Analytics Settings Configuration, such as Models, Risk Models and Threat Intelligence: can be performed in the Admin Portal
• Identity Verification, such as perform the identity verification process for end users with a mobile phone number: cannot be performed in the Admin Portal

In the CyberArk Identity Admin Portal, administrators have the capability to manage various aspects of user roles and security:

• Role Management is a core function of the Admin Portal, allowing administrators to assign users to different roles, reflecting their permissions and access within the organization's resources.
• Report Management is also available in the Admin Portal, providing administrators the ability to generate, modify, and delete reports that help in monitoring and auditing purposes.
• CyberArk Identity User Behavior Analytics (UBA) settings configuration is part of the advanced security features that can be managed by administrators in the Admin Portal. These settings help in identifying potentially malicious activities by learning the typical behavior of users and detecting anomalies.
• Identity Verification for end users, particularly actions like performing the identity verification process, is typically a user-driven process and may not be directly managed through the Admin Portal. It is generally part of the self-service capabilities provided to end users to verify and manage their identities.

The CyberArk Authenticator desktop application can be installed on both Windows and MacOS operating systems. It is designed to generate Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTPs) for use in two-factor authentication, providing an additional layer of security for user sign-ins.
