How does CyberArk EPM enhance security posture in cloud environments?

CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) enhances the security posture in cloud environments significantly by providing a comprehensive view of cloud activity and usage. This capability is crucial for organizations that adopt cloud services, as it allows them to monitor, analyze, and gain insights into user actions across cloud platforms.

With this visibility, security teams can better understand potential vulnerabilities and unauthorized activities, enabling them to respond rapidly to suspicious behavior or compliance issues. This level of oversight is vital in maintaining the integrity and security of cloud environments, as it helps to identify risks and control access effectively.

In contrast, while limiting user access to cloud applications is important, it does not provide the holistic perspective necessary for robust security management. Integrating solely with on-premise applications would not address the specific challenges posed by cloud environments, and eliminating the need for user credentials is not a practical approach to securing cloud access, as proper credential management is essential for maintaining security.
