New Release ACCESS-DEF CyberArk Certification Questions

The requirement is to allow users to authenticate just once if they meet certain authentication criteria. Configuring the QR Code as a "Single Authentication Mechanism" means that if a userauthenticates using the QR Code mechanism, they won't be challenged again. It fulfills the requirement of single authentication by leveraging a secure method that doesn't require subsequent challenges once the QR code is validated. This simplifies the login process while maintaining security by utilizing a secure token that is difficult to replicate or forge.

 Within a Web App connector, the admin uses the Workflow feature to grant users access. Enabling the Workflow feature for an application allows end users to send requests for access to the application to designated users or roles for approval. Approvers can then grant access to the application permanently or for a specified time window. Granting access to the application means the users receive the View, Run, and Automatically Deploy permissions1.

References: The information is based on the CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course and learning resources, specifically from the CyberArk documentation on managing application access requests1.

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.

 An “Identity Provider Initiated” login refers to a scenario where the authentication process begins at the identity provider rather than the service provider. In the context of CyberArk Defender Access, this occurs when a user first signs into the CyberArk Identity portal and then initiates access to an application by clicking on a SAML app tile. This process ensures that the user is authenticated through CyberArk Identity before being granted access to the application, thus providing a secure single sign-on (SSO) experience.

References: The explanation is based on the standard practices of SSO and the specific workflow of CyberArk Identity as an identity provider, which is documented in CyberArk’s official resources123.
