Which access control methods does CyberArk support?

CyberArk supports a comprehensive range of access control methods, which includes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Discretionary Access Control (DAC), and Mandatory Access Control (MAC).

RBAC is fundamental in CyberArk as it ensures that users are granted access based on their roles within the organization. This method simplifies management by allowing permissions to be assigned to roles rather than individual users, making it easier to administer access rights effectively.

DAC allows users to have control over their data and resources, giving them the ability to grant or restrict others' access based on their discretion. This flexibility can be crucial in certain scenarios where specific data needs to be shared or protected based on user requirements.

MAC, on the other hand, enforces a stricter policy where access rights are regulated by a central authority based on predefined policies. This method is particularly beneficial in environments with heightened security needs, as it maintains strict control over how information is accessed and handled.

The combination of these access control methods in CyberArk plays a significant role in enhancing security and ensuring that access to sensitive data is managed efficiently and effectively, catering to a wide range of organizational needs and security policies. This is essential for protecting privileged accounts and sensitive information in various environments.
