Managing and securing privileged accounts is critical for organizations. Leaving sensitive accounts with no oversight or security mechanisms poses an extreme risk of security breaches and cyber attacks. For organizations already using CyberArk, integrating the CyberArk dashboard in Remote Desktop Manager offers a dual advantage: increasing both security and user efficiency.

What is the RDM CyberArk dashboard?

The RDM CyberArk dashboard is a robust, user-friendly interface within RDM, designed to help IT teams manage and connect to endpoints using privileged secrets stored in CyberArk. The dashboard serves as a centralized hub, allowing administrators and users to view privileged accounts and connect to endpoints with a single click. Supporting multiple protocols like RDP, SSH, and web connections, the dashboard removes the need for Password Vault Web Access (PVWA), CyberArk’s web-based interface, and connects directly to allowed assets within RDM, requiring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) only once. Upon authentication to the CyberArk server, the dashboard maintains an active session for the duration of the user’s work, streamlining access and ensuring seamless security.

Key features of the RDM CyberArk dashboard

The RDM CyberArk dashboard offers several features that help IT teams streamline their PAM operations.

Key features include:

1 - Centralized management: The dashboard consolidates privileged accounts and safes across the organization into one easy-to-navigate interface. This provides a clear overview of accessible accounts, simplifying account management.

2 - Privileged account selection: Users can quickly navigate safes and select privileged accounts. The dashboard dynamically selects the right connection component, reducing the time and clicks required to connect to endpoints.

3 - Direct connections: Through the Privileged Session Manager (PSM), users can connect directly to endpoints using pre-selected credentials via the right-click menu and the credentials selected in the dashboard.

4 - Conditional access policies: The dashboard supports CyberArk’s access policies requiring justification or ticket numbers when connecting to devices with privileged secrets, enhancing accountability and security.
