Application Access events are triggered on which condition?

Application Access events are specifically triggered when there is a first attempt to access an application. This event serves as a critical security checkpoint, as it captures the initial interaction of a user with a given application within the CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager environment. By focusing on the first attempt, the system can monitor and assess the legitimacy of application usage, as well as apply relevant access controls in real-time to safeguard against unauthorized or suspicious behaviors.

Different actions like a successful application launch, user login, or application installation do not specifically signify the moment access is requested or attempted; rather, they relate to subsequent or also different processes related to application usage and system interactions. These processes do not mark the access event but may involve permissions or behaviors established after access has been initially invoked. Hence, the recognition of the first application access attempt is what designates an Application Access event.
