- Enables users to protect Linux systems by applying and
enforcing least privilege policies and just-in-time elevation
- Latest update delivers a new, unified interface for protecting
endpoints across Windows, Linux and Mac platforms
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader in Identity Security,
today announced new CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager
functionality that extends protection to Linux platforms. Now,
security and IT professionals can easily enforce least privilege
and implement foundational just-in-time security controls across
Linux endpoints in any environment.
Linux is widely applicable to various types of operations –
everything from smartphones to cloud computing – and runs 90% of
all public cloud workloads. In a recent survey, 83.1% of developers
said Linux is the platform they prefer to work on. It’s so popular
that in 2021, Linux ran on 100% of the world’s 500
supercomputers.
However, many Linux administrators find it challenging to
enforce least privilege policies on DevOps engineers or application
owners that access Linux servers while maintaining least privilege
controls on Linux machines without creating friction for end users.
CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux is a SaaS solution
that provides simple and easy configuration and enforcement of
least privilege policy. Linux administrators benefit from
capabilities that enable them to quickly build the right policy
rules for their users and reduce the manual work typically required
to maintain these policies.
Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux can monitor and
automatically detect privileged activity. It then helps
administrators decide whether privileged access rights should be
approved or blocked, and easily update the policy accordingly.
Security teams and Linux administrators gain critical visibility
and control over what users can run and execute on Linux systems.
Additional capabilities include:
- Standard sudo command syntax for smooth adoption
- Sudo with password prompt or passwordless
- Configurable policy audit reports for compliance and
forensics
- Rest APIs for policy automation and external system
integration
- Agent CLI for support and status monitoring
- Upgrade or uninstall agents directly from the SaaS console
Endpoint Privilege Manager administrators can also now define
and execute policies via a unified management console interface for
protecting the organizations’ endpoints across Windows, Linux and
Mac platforms.
“Endpoint privilege management solutions provide foundational
security controls that are missing across a large number of
organizations – opening them up to cybersecurity risk. These
controls are especially important as businesses continue to
prioritize digital transformation and mature and accelerate cloud
adoption,” said Barak Feldman, senior vice president, CyberArk.
“Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux extends flexible, robust and
scalable least privilege capabilities of the CyberArk Identity
Security Platform over Linux endpoints – workstations and
especially servers – while delivering just in time controls and
automation that lift the manual burden on Linux
administrators.”
Availability and Licensing
CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux is available now.
Existing customers can leverage their existing Endpoint Privilege
Manager SaaS tenants and expertise with no additional training or
special licensing. For more details, visit:
