ACCESS-DEF Exam Dumps : CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF)

To minimize the frequency of 2FA/MFA prompts, the following settings are useful:

A.Challenge Pass-Through Duration:This setting allows users to bypass additional MFA prompts for a set period after successfully completing an MFA challenge. For example, if the duration is set to 8 hours, after the user completes MFA once, they won't be prompted again for another 8 hours on the same device.

D.IP Address filter:By whitelisting certain IP addresses, such as those within the corporate network, you can configure policies that do not prompt for MFA when a user is accessing resources from a known and trusted location.

B, C, and E are not related to minimizing MFA prompts. RADIUS is an authentication provider, OATH OTP is an authentication method, and port mapping is unrelated to authentication prompts.

 To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access attempts from a specific IP range, the best practice is to block that range from accessing the CyberArk Identity portal. This can be done by logging into the CyberArk Identity Admin portal and specifying the IP range to be blocked. By doing so, any traffic originating from this range will be denied access, thus reducing the vulnerability and potential for unauthorized access.

References: The information aligns with the best practices for securing access as outlined in the CyberArk documentation, which suggests defining challenge rules for user-added applications or based on the application URL, application domain, or user domain (email) to restrict access1. Additionally, it is consistent with the security guidelines provided by CyberArk, which include implementing measures to contain attacks and prevent unauthorized access2.

In the context of web application connectors:

• OpenID Connect is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, which allows for the secure issuance of access tokens representing user identity. It relies on JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for the identity information of the users, which enables client applications to verify the identity of the end-user based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the end-user in an interoperable and REST-like manner.
• Bookmark is a simple type of web app connector that doesn't provide single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. Instead, it acts as a shortcut, allowing users to quickly access web applications or URLs without requiring any form of automated authentication.
• Browser Extension refers to a tool that automates the process of entering a user's credentials into applications that do not support standard SSO protocols. The extension can store the username and password and automatically input these details when the user navigates to the login page of a web application, effectively simulating an SSO experience for non-SSO applications.
