Centralized control has reduced shadow IT and improved endpoint security visibility
What I dislike about Airlock Digital Application Control is that the whole endpoint management concept as implemented there is silly, and they need to have a better flow so you can appropriately do that type of work at the access control layer, not at the machine layer. If you simply take local admin away from everyone in the company, it is a way of taking local admin away without telling people you are doing that, and I think that is kind of silly. But the biggest challenge is the tool does not let you migrate information between groups, and its export function is not stellar, though it is markedly better than it was when we first started with it. If I built a group and we grew and we decided we need to change how that was organized, I had to take a buttload of screenshots to capture all of the information because there was not a way to migrate them into a new structure. That is one of the things they are working on, and it was due to be released soon, and I got laid off about eight weeks ago now, so maybe they have released it now. But that was a pain because there was no way to export it, even as a CSV, and that was annoying because it did not screenshot easily.

Strengthening financial services infrastructure by safeguarding and integrating with ecosystems
We use CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to complement a privilege access management solution in order to avoid golden ticket attacks and strengthen services against attacks. It serves as a complement to our asset management solution. The architecture of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is beneficial for integrating with all customer ecosystems; it's easy to deploy, and achieving that level of integration and control is more challenging with other solutions. The ability of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to safeguard our financial services infrastructure is very important, as we need to record actions on privileges in our information systems. Regarding the granularity of the managed controls in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, we have different levels of features to define compensations and capabilities, which help us verify configurations and access, ultimately keeping the safety of rights intact. Our initial challenge with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is to comply with Colombian regulations in the financial sector, particularly identifying users and managing password changes and rotations. We needed to certify the identities and provide necessary information for government investigations, if required. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager is very important for helping our organization meet compliance and regulatory requirements. We have to comply with international regulations such as SOC, but also with local regulations unique to the financial sector, which is crucial for us due to the high risks involved. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helped us reduce the time for regulatory processes to approximately two to four months, completing the solution and training. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has helped us reduce the mean time to detect within our organization. That's our main goal. Regarding MTTD, the solution provides enough information to enhance our overall detection process. We have an 85% improvement in MTTD. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps ensure data privacy through strategies that manage information in real-time. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager helps save costs by avoiding risks and future expenses associated with security incidents. It's essential to communicate the value of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to users, as its controls help improve system security. My role at the company involves service and sales activities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What made Airlock Digital Application Control different is the features and options we had to approach a single problem."
"Airlock Digital Application Control was found to be very light, very fast, and much better than the previous one."
"Airlock Digital Application Control brings many main benefits to the table that help improve the way the organization functions."
"I compare Airlock Digital Application Control very highly to other vendors like ThreatLocker, Microsoft, Ivanti, and Carbon Black."
"Using the policy management tool provided by Airlock Digital Application Control is very beneficial and completely aligns with the compliance and governance expectations of the client."
"Airlock Digital Application Control is taking that Carbon Black concept, making it cloud-based, making it much more dynamic and scalable, and more reactive in terms of the reporting."
"The best features of Airlock Digital Application Control are that it is easy to use, deploy, and manage."
"The most valuable feature is that their database is completely encrypted and protected with multiple layers."
"I like that we have the power to blacklist, whitelist, and greylist applications."
"It identifies the original source, and all instances of malicious applications in the environment."
"The feature called PTA, which stands for Privileged Threat Analytics keeps track of what admins are doing and works with Centimeters. If something fishy is going on with a user's credentials, it alerts the security team so they can act fast. Plus, it automates stuff like resetting credentials or blocking users. So, if there's a potential hack, CyberArk can change passwords and lock out users in a snap. It also gives you a heads-up if anything unusual is going on with server activities, like someone creating new users with uncontrolled credentials."
"We have not had issues with CyberArk. It works very smoothly. We can do many things with CyberArk. It helps us to see exactly what is happening."
"I am impressed with the product's seamless integration. The PAM wallet and enterprise password wallet are good also good."
"In terms of ROI, deploying CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager has secured the infrastructure, which saves money, time, and resources."
"There are many valuable aspects of the product, but the most common feature is working with the privileges. The controls of CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager influence the visibility into endpoints for my customers. It allows them to granularly manage controls to prevent some malicious activities on the endpoint machine."
 

Cons

"In Airlock Digital Application Control, there are areas for improvement which, more specifically being a security tool, relate to the performance issues that end-user devices are experiencing because of the tool."
"Some of the vulnerabilities that are meant for CVEs specific to Airlock Digital Application Control need to be addressed in newer versions."
"Airlock Digital Application Control has room for improvement in detecting and setting a standard environment when updates for programs are released."
"The first thing is that the new version release schedule is quite repetitive, deploying a new agent within a couple of months, which makes it difficult for us to keep in touch because we have a controlled environment and everything must be done via change management."
"What I dislike about Airlock Digital Application Control is that the whole endpoint management concept as implemented there is silly, and they need to have a better flow so you can appropriately do that type of work at the access control layer, not at the machine layer."
"It was complex to introduction the product to the end-users and the technical team."
"A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good."
"Another enhancement needed is the scheduling of deployment, which I expect in future releases."
"The main issues I experience are related to deployment, which requires dependency on other solutions like AD or SCCM. These tools need to be defined and synced with the client or agent and master, sometimes needing manual checks."
"They need much better integration with Azure AD."
"Without knowledge, you are not able to find some items as they are really hidden within the UI."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is very expensive."
