ACCESS-DEF Sample Questions Answers

The CyberArk Identity Windows Device Trust enrollment process allows administrators to specify the maximum number of devices that can be enrolled with a single enrollment code. This is part of the security measures to control the number of devices that can access CyberArk Identity resources. The enrollment process requires a domain-joined Windows computer and a connection to the domain controller, typically within the corporate network or connected through a VPN. References: The information provided here is based on general knowledge of device trust and enrollment processes in identity management solutions, including CyberArk Identity, as of 2021.

For the most accurate and up-to-date answer, please refer to the latest CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials or contact CyberArk support directly.

In order to restrict access to the CyberArk Identity user portal to only corporate-issued domain-joined laptops without the need for a VPN, you would utilize the Windows Device Trust agent with certificate-based authentication. This agent can ensure that only devices with a trusted certificate, typically deployed through domain-joined status, can access the portal. This method relies on the presence of a specific certificate on the laptop which confirms its trust status and domain-joined condition. It provides secure and seamless user access while ensuring compliance with corporate security policies, allowing access only from corporate-managed devices.

CyberArk Identity provides several predefined roles, but the primary ones include the ‘Everybody’ role and the ‘System Administrator’ role. The ‘Everybody’ role is assigned by default to all CyberArk Identity users. This role is essential for ensuring that all users are automatically included in the system and have access to the user portal upon their first login or device enrollment. The ‘System Administrator’ role grants full access to all the Identity Administration portal settings and is typically assigned to the initial account that sets up the CyberArk Identity service.

References: Detailed information about these roles can be found in the CyberArk documentation, which explains the purpose of each predefined role and the permissions associated with them1.

When users are unable to enroll into the system using the enrollment code, it could be due to limitations on the number of endpoints that can join or lack of clarity in the enrollment process. By setting the maximum number of joinable endpoints to “unlimited”, you remove any restrictions on the number of devices that can be enrolled with the same code. Adding a description within the enrollment code can provide users with additional context or instructions, which may help them during the enrollment process.

References: The information is based on general best practices for managing endpoint authentication and enrollment processes. For the most accurate and detailed information, please refer to the latest CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials and documents. Specific details about managing authentication certificates and enrollment can be found in the CyberArk documentation12.

In the context of device enrollment settings within CyberArk's solution:

A.Send notification on device enrollment:This is a valid setting that enables administrators to be notified when a device is enrolled. It is important for maintaining visibility over the devices being added to the system.

B.Enable invite-based enrollment:This setting is valid and allows for a controlled enrollment process where users can only enroll their devices after receiving an invite. This helps in managing and securing the enrollment process by ensuring that only authorized devices are added.

When a user’s account information required for multi-factor authentication (MFA) is not set up properly, preventing them from logging in, the appropriate action is to use the MFA Unlock command in the Admin Portal. This command temporarily suspends MFA, allowing the user a 10-minute window to log in without the need for MFA. This is a useful feature for resolving login issues related to MFA setup errors without having to resort to more drastic measures such as account deletion or changing directory sources.

References: This information can be found in the CyberArk documentation under the section “Temporarily suspend multi-factor authentication,” which outlines the steps to log in to the Identity Administration portal, navigate to Core Services > Users, right-click the account for the user who is locked out, and select MFA Unlock1.

• Activity: displays all portal logs
• Account: provides the ability for users to change their password and modify information

In CyberArk's User Portal, each tab is designed to give users and administrators quick access to different functionalities and information:

• The Application tab shows the user all the web applications that they have access to, which can include both those assigned by a system administrator and any that the user has added themselves.
• The Devices tab is where users can find all their mobile devices that are currently enrolled with CyberArk Identity, providing an overview of the devices they have secured access from.
• The Activity tab is crucial for auditing and security as it logs all portal activities, which can include login attempts, changes made, and other significant actions that need to be tracked for security and compliance purposes.
• Finally, the Account tab is a personal settings area where users can manage their account details, such as changing their password or updating personal information, ensuring that their credentials and access details are current and secure.

The CyberArk Identity mobile app is available for download through official app distribution platforms such as the Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play Store for Android devices. These platforms are the standard sources for obtaining mobile applications securely. The Admin Portal is typically used for managing CyberArk solutions and does not distribute mobile apps, the support portal is used for documentation and troubleshooting, and mobile apps are generally not distributed via email attachments due to security risks.

Cindy’s role in the IT Audit Department suggests that she requires access to features and information pertinent to auditing within CyberArk Identity. The “Everybody” role is a default role that typically includes basic user permissions. Adding the “Auditor” role would grant her the specific administrative rights needed to perform audit-related tasks, which align with her job responsibilities in the IT Audit Department. This combination ensures that she has the necessary permissions to access and manage audit functions without granting unnecessary administrative privileges that come with the “IT Admin” role1.

When the “Challenge Pass-Through Duration” is set to “No Pass Through”, it ensures that users are presented with an authentication challenge every time they attempt to access the portal or applications. This setting is crucial for maintaining strict security protocols and ensuring that user identities are verified at each access attempt, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing overall security posture.

CyberArk Identity’s App Gateway is designed to provide secure remote access to on-premises applications without the need for VPNs, code changes, or additional infrastructure. It enables users to access on-premises apps such as an Oracle web app by extending Single Sign-On (SSO), adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and fine-grained access policies to these applications. This ensures that users can authenticate once and gain one-click access to all the apps they need, including on-premises Oracle web apps, in a secure manner. References: The information is based on CyberArk’s official documentation and resources which detail the capabilities of the App Gateway feature, specifically its ability to secure remote access to on-premises applications like Oracle web apps12.

• Login to the User Portal.
• Click the Devices page, and click Add Devices.
• On the mobile device app, use the camera to scan the QR code.
• Authorize the application download.
• Enroll the mobile device.

The process of installing the CyberArk Identity mobile app using a QR code involves several steps to ensure a smooth and secure setup. First, the user must log into the User Portal providedby CyberArk, which is the centralized interface for managing user settings and security options. After logging in, the user navigates to the Devices page where they can manage and add new devices to their profile. The option to add a device will prompt the user to use their mobile device to scan a QR code. This QR code contains the configuration details and a link to download the mobile app. Once scanned, the mobile device will prompt the user to authorize the download of the CyberArk Identity mobile app from the app store. After the app is downloaded, the final step is to enroll the device with the user's CyberArk Identity account, which may include setting up a PIN or biometric verification and agreeing to any necessary permissions. This completes the installation and ensures the device is securely managed under the user's identity profile.

 In the context of CyberArk Identity, when dealing with websites that do not require user authentication, the appropriate connector to use is typically a Bookmark. This type of connector acts as a simple link to the website without the need for any authentication process. It’s used for quick access to web resources that are publicly available and do not require a login.

References: The information is based on general knowledge of web application connectors and their purposes. For the most accurate and detailed information, please refer to the latest CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials and documents. Specific details about the use of connectors for different types of applications can be found in the CyberArk documentation12.

The authentication mechanism that falls under the category of “Something you know” typically refers to knowledge factors, which are based on information that the user must be able to recall and provide upon request. In the context of CyberArk Defender Access, a security question is an example of a knowledge factor because it requires the user to answer a question that only they should know the answer to. This contrasts with other mechanisms like a phone call or text message, which are considered “Something you have” because they rely on the user possessing a specific device to receive the call or message. FIDO2 Authenticators, on the other hand, are categorized as “Something you are” or “Something you have,” depending on the specific type of authenticator used, as they can include biometric factors or a physical security key1. References: CyberArk’s definition of MFA

The Application Management administrative right allows access to any activities that originate on the Apps page, such as the ability to add, modify, or remove applications. It also includes the ability to start provisioning jobs, which is necessary for manually initiating a provisioning synchronization job2.References: The information is based on the CyberArk documentation regarding provisioned account synchronization options and administrative rights12.

 Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) and FIDO2 Authentication are two methods that can enable a user to bypass the default authentication rules and profile when logging on to the User Portal. IWA allows users to authenticate using their Windows credentials, which can be configured to bypass additional authentication challenges. FIDO2 is a modern authentication standard that supports passwordless authentication, which can also be set up to bypass the default authentication mechanisms.

References: The information is based on CyberArk’s official documentation, which provides details on configuring multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the User Portal and the ability to bypass user authentication for launching applications12.
