When installing the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) on multiple servers, it is required that each PSM installation has the same path to the same recordings directory. This is necessary to ensure that session recordings are stored consistently across different PSM instances, which is important for high availability and load balancing implementations, as well as for maintaining a unified audit trail.

To configure the syslog server IP addresses for SIEM integration in a CyberArk Privilege Cloud environment, the following steps are generally required:

Update the syslog server IP address through the Privilege Cloud Portal (Option B): This is typically done via the administrative interface where system logging configurations can be managed. It allows for straightforward integration of external logging tools by specifying the destination syslog server IP.

Configure the Secure Tunnel for SIEM integration (Option E): Establishing a secure tunnel is often necessary for secure and reliable data transmission between the CyberArk Privilege Cloud and the external syslog server, particularly when integrating SIEM systems that require encrypted and secure data pathways.

In CyberArk Privilege Cloud, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can be configured to enhance security by requiring multiple methods of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user's identity. The available authentication methods include:

Windows Authentication: Leverages the user's Windows credentials.

PKI (Public Key Infrastructure): Utilizes certificates to authenticate.

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service): A networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting management.

CyberArk: Uses CyberArk's own authentication methods.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol): Protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services.

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language): An open standard that allows identity providers to pass authorization credentials to service providers.

OpenID Connect (OIDC): An authentication layer on top of OAuth 2.0, an authorization framework.

Reference for this can be found in the CyberArk Privilege Cloud documentation, which details the integration and setup of MFA using these methods.

When installing the PSM and CPM components on the same Privilege Cloud Connector and considering the hardening process, it's important to note that PSM settings override the CPM settings when referring to the same parameter. This hierarchy is crucial in ensuring that the more stringent security settings required by PSM, which typically handles direct interaction with end-user sessions, take precedence over CPM settings. This setup helps maintain robust security practices by applying the most restrictive configuration where conflicts occur.

To disable the PSM default support for browser sessions, the option SupportBrowsers should be set to 'No' before running the hardening process. This configuration change is made within the PSM's configuration files, typically found in the PSM's administrative interface or directly within specific XML configuration files like PSMHardening.xml. Setting this option to 'No' prevents the PSM from processing session requests that involve web browsers, thereby enhancing security by limiting the session types the PSM will support. This setting is particularly important in environments where web browsing sessions are deemed unnecessary or too risky.
