ACCESS-DEF - CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF)

• Application: displays the web applications the system administrator has assigned to user
• Devices: lists mobile apps enrolled in CyberArk Identity
• Activity: displays all portal logs
• Account: provides the ability for users to change their password and modify information

In CyberArk's User Portal, each tab is designed to give users and administrators quick access to different functionalities and information:

• The Application tab shows the user all the web applications that they have access to, which can include both those assigned by a system administrator and any that the user has added themselves.
• The Devices tab is where users can find all their mobile devices that are currently enrolled with CyberArk Identity, providing an overview of the devices they have secured access from.
• The Activity tab is crucial for auditing and security as it logs all portal activities, which can include login attempts, changes made, and other significant actions that need to be tracked for security and compliance purposes.
• Finally, the Account tab is a personal settings area where users can manage their account details, such as changing their password or updating personal information, ensuring that their credentials and access details are current and secure.

The CyberArk Identity service that provides a list of pre-built app connectors is the AppCatalogue. This feature allows users to access and manage a variety of application connectors that are designed to facilitate integration with CyberArk Identity for Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication.

The authentication mechanism that falls under the category of “Something you know” typically refers to knowledge factors, which are based on information that the user must be able to recall and provide upon request. In the context of CyberArk Defender Access, a security question is an example of a knowledge factor because it requires the user to answer a question that only they should know the answer to. This contrasts with other mechanisms like a phone call or text message, which are considered “Something you have” because they rely on the user possessing a specific device to receive the call or message. FIDO2 Authenticators, on the other hand, are categorized as “Something you are” or “Something you have,” depending on the specific type of authenticator used, as they can include biometric factors or a physical security key1. References: CyberArk’s definition of MFA
