Strengthening financial services infrastructure by safeguarding and integrating with ecosystems
We use CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to complement a privilege access management solution in order to avoid golden ticket attacks and strengthen services against attacks. It serves as a complement to our asset management solution. The architecture of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is beneficial for integrating with all customer ecosystems; it's easy to deploy, and achieving that level of integration and control is more challenging with other solutions. The ability of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to safeguard our financial services infrastructure is very important, as we need to record actions on privileges in our information systems. Regarding the granularity of the managed controls in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, we have different levels of features to define compensations and capabilities, which help us verify configurations and access, ultimately keeping the safety of rights intact. Our initial challenge with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is to comply with Colombian regulations in the financial sector, particularly identifying users and managing password changes and rotations. We needed to certify the identities and provide necessary information for government investigations, if required. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very important for helping our organization meet compliance and regulatory requirements. We have to comply with international regulations such as SOC, but also with local regulations unique to the financial sector, which is crucial for us due to the high risks involved. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has helped us reduce the mean time to detect within our organization. That's our main goal. Regarding MTTD, the solution provides enough information to enhance our overall detection process. We have an 85% improvement in MTTD. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps ensure data privacy through strategies that manage information in real-time. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps save costs by avoiding risks and future expenses associated with security incidents. It's essential to communicate the value of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to users, as its controls help improve system security. My role at the company involves service and sales activities.

Has struggled with poor documentation and limited tuning options but supports basic protection needs
The major limitation of this product is that their documentation is very poor; their documentation is extremely poor. Their support is very poor for this product, and the solution is average. To be honest, it's not that effective. Their Threat Scan Engine has features that don't work properly; they have features that really don't work properly. Their solution provides writing style verification, but this solution comes with false positives 60% of the time. There is no way from their portal to fix it; you can either turn it off or turn it on. The solution has many bugs. I will recommend Microsoft first for replacing Trend Micro ScanMail, then Barracuda, but the problem with Barracuda is that for impersonation solutions, it doesn't work well. There are many features, but you cannot tune the product. Being able to tune a product is really important; such as adjusting settings to be aggressive, minimal, or to exclude certain things. These are the most important considerations when purchasing a product. When impersonation is needed, but there are false positives, there should be an option to tune the product. Barracuda and Trend Micro Deep Security lack this feature, which is pathetic.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that we have the power to blacklist, whitelist, and greylist applications."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is entirely cloud-based, so no further upkeep is required."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its high performance, it's the best identity security platform. The security is good. It's easy to showcase the feature and capabilities and compare it with other competitors. It competes well with other solutions. Additionally, it is a complete solution."
"The most valuable feature of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is its ability to reset passwords every time that it is needed or periodically."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has significantly improved our security posture by preventing virus incidents and restricting users from downloading unwanted applications."
"The department management aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"In terms of removing local admin credentials on the endpoint and the effect on the size of the attack surface in our organization, it has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege."
"It has drastically reduced the attack surface for local administrative rights and the chance of escalation of privilege. We've removed, at this point, close to 98 percent of the local administrative accounts on workstations. If there were an incident, it would stop at that point and we'd be able to know."
"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."
"The analysis part is good."
"Trend Micro ScanMail is scalable at different levels."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
 

Cons

"The turnaround time of the support team is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"My recommendation for improvement is to add functionality for when users request access to an application. There's a pop-up UI, but it's not very customizable. I suggest creating a UI where we can write scripts or use SDKs to enhance it. This could automatically create tickets in a system like ServiceNow when users request an application. If a manager approves, we could automatically push policies to those users."
"They need much better integration with Azure AD."
"CyberArk should consider whitelisting important applications like PowerShell and DLL that are currently not allowed due to some malicious content."
"It cannot be on-prem. It is only cloud-based. Sometimes, that's a restriction in terms of usage."
"CyberArk is a pretty heavy solution. There are a lot of moving components and a lot of things involved."
"A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good."
"There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"The sandboxing part can be improved."
"Even Trend Micro ScanMail support staff are not familiar with this product."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires an annual license to use it. There can be some extra costs in some cases."
"CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is slightly expensive, but costs can be negotiated to become more competitive."
"The product's license is easy to procure."
"It's not at the lower end of the market. I think the price is reasonable considering the quality it delivers. It is a top-notch solution at a fair price point."
"I feel that the price of the product is nominal. It must be around 10 to 15 USD per installation. I rate the product price an eight to nine out of ten, where one is high price, and ten is low price."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable for customers."
"Pricing depends on how many devices you use. Right now, on-premise, it costs us a little, but it's worth it. It seems like the cloud solution is much more expensive. We got this solution one year ago, and it's like we bought the solution, and now they are not going to support it on-premise anymore. We are in the implementation phase, and we missed this, and we already paid for the licenses. This is wasted time from my perspective, and CyberArk should be more customer-friendly."
"It's a yearly subscription, but the price could be better."
"Its price is okay. It is not too high."
"It is an expensive solution. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
