Free CyberArk ACCESS-DEF Practice Exam with Questions & Answers | Set: 2

In the context of UBA systems, the dataset related to updating user profiles would typically be found under the Configuration category. This category generally includes events and data related to system settings, user account configurations, and profile changes. Examining this dataset would allow an investigator to track any alterations made to user profiles, which could be relevant in an incident investigation.

References: This guidance is based on standard practices for managing and analyzing data within UBA systems. For the most accurate and detailed explanation, please refer to the official CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) study guide and course documentation, which can be found through the CyberArk training portal1.

When an organization changes its policy to prevent users from adding personal applications, the applications that were added by the user before the policy change are blocked. The icons for these applications will still be displayed on the Apps screen and on user devices, but if a user tries to open one of the applications, an error message will be displayed. This means that while the applications remain visible, they are no longer functional.

References: This information can be found in the CyberArk documentation under the section “Block users from adding personal applications” which details the policy changes and their implications for previously added personal applications1.

• Secure communication between a company's internal network (AD or LDAP) and CyberArk Identity: is a connector function
• Radius Server and Client: is a connector function
• VPN gateway: is not a connector function
• User Behavior Analytics gateway: is not a connector function
• App gateway: is a connector function
• Integrated Windows authentication (IWA): is a connector function
• LDAP proxy: is a connector function
• Firewall: is not a connector function

CyberArk Identity connectors serve as bridges between CyberArk Identity and other components of an organization's IT infrastructure:

• Secure communication with a company's internal directory services like Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is facilitated by CyberArk Identity connectors to ensure secure user authentication and synchronization.
• Radius Server and Client functionality is often supported by CyberArk Identity connectors to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) and integrate with various network devices and services.
• VPN gateways are typically separate network devices or services that handle the security for virtual private network traffic and are not managed by CyberArk Identity connectors.
• User Behavior Analytics (UBA) gateways are specialized services for analyzing user activities and detecting potential security threats; they are separate from the standard connector functions.
• App gateways refer to application gateways that manage traffic to web applications, which can be part of CyberArk Identity's connector functionalities for single sign-on (SSO) and secure application access.
• Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) is a secure method for users to sign in to applications that can be facilitated by CyberArk Identity connectors to allow seamless authentication.
• LDAP proxy functionality is within the scope of CyberArk Identity connectors to provide additional security and abstraction layers for LDAP operations.
• Firewall management is beyond the scope of CyberArk Identity connectors as it is a network security system that controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

The CyberArk Identity App Gateway is designed to work with web-based applications that support standard authentication protocols. This includes:

• SAML-Compliant Apps: These are applications that use the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol for single sign-on (SSO).
• WS-Fed Enabled Apps: These applications use the WS-Federation (WS-Fed) protocol, which is another standard used for SSO.
• OIDC Web Apps: OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, and OIDC web apps are those that use this protocol for authentication.

The App Gateway allows secure access to these types of applications without the need for a VPN, facilitating remote access.

References: The information is based on general knowledge of SAML, WS-Fed, and OIDC protocols, and how they are typically used in conjunction with web-based application gateways like CyberArk Identity App Gateway. For the most accurate and detailed information, please refer to the latest CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials and documents.

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.

The error message “Not Authorized. You do not have permission to access this feature” typically indicates that a user has attempted to access a feature or area within CyberArk Defender Access for which they do not have the necessary permissions or rights. This is most commonly associated with a non-administrative user trying to access an administrative feature. Administrative rights and permissions in CyberArk are tightly controlled and are assigned based on the role and scope of the user’s responsibilities. Users are only able to perform actions for which they have been explicitly granted permission, and attempting to access features beyond their permission level will result in such an error1.

When local account linking is configured between Active Directory (Source) and CyberArk Cloud Directory (Target) with the email attribute as the directory user mapping attribute, it means that user authentication will be cross-referenced between the two directories based on the email attribute. Since the option "Use this mapping only for MFA re-direction" is selected, it implies that the initial MFA challenge is not necessarily redirected. However, after a successful logon, the user session will be associated with the account in the CyberArk Cloud Directory (Target) because this is the directory service where the final user account resolution takes place.

 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.

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.

When users are prompted for unrecognized MFA factors, it is often due to a discrepancy between the identity information they are providing and the information registered in the MFA system. If a user mistypes their username, the system may not recognize them and therefore prompt them with MFA challenges that are not associated with their account. This is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized access.
