The Master Policy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing and securing privileged access across diverse IT environments is complex and prone to vulnerabilities. Without a centralized approach, inconsistencies in policy enforcement can lead to security breaches and compliance issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using CyberArk’s PAM Master Policy<\/a><\/strong> helps standardize and enforce security and compliance policies consistently across all platforms, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CyberArk’s PAM Master Policy offers a simple and intuitive way to manage an organization\u2019s security policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Master Policy enables us to configure the security and compliance policy<\/a> of privileged accounts<\/a> in an organization from a single pane of glass. It allows us to configure compliance-driven rules, which will be defined as the baseline for the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master Policy: Rules<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Master policy is divided into four higher-level and compliance-driven policy sections, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Privileged Access Workflows<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Password Management<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Session Management<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Audit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Each of the above sections has a set of rules<\/a> and offers better visibility and control over policy configurations and enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Master Policy: Exceptions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Master policy settings, when configured, can be applied to most privileged accounts in the organization. However, a few privileged accounts may need to deviate from these global settings for various reasons. We can create exceptions<\/a> for the accounts that need to deviate from the configured global settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
