CyberArk’s Secure Infrastructure Access (SIA) component delivers secure, VPN-less, agentless access to hybrid and cloud environments using either vaulted credentials or zero standing privileges with ephemeral users. It isolates and monitors privileged sessions without exposing credentials, enforcing strong controls through MFA and attribute-based policies. For Linux, it issues short-lived SSH certificates; for Windows, ephemeral local users; and for databases, temporary AD or local accounts. Architecture includes SSH/RDP/Kubernetes gateways, connectors, and ABAC enforcement. By eliminating standing access, providing just-in-time privilege, and integrating with PAM, SIA reduces attack surfaces, ensures compliance, and strengthens identity security across diverse infrastructure.
