What is the purpose of monitoring logs for irregularities in CyberArk?

Monitoring logs for irregularities in CyberArk primarily serves to identify unauthorized access attempts. This process is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of sensitive information and systems. CyberArk is designed to manage privileged accounts and protect against threats, both internal and external. By analyzing logs, security teams can detect patterns indicative of suspicious activities, such as failed login attempts, unusual access times, or access from unrecognized IP addresses.

This proactive approach enables organizations to respond swiftly to potential threats, either by mitigating attacks in progress or by strengthening access controls and policies to prevent future breaches. Identifying unauthorized access attempts is fundamental to safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, which strengthens overall cybersecurity posture.
