CyberArk is happy to announce the general availability of automatic discovery of local endpoint accounts with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM). 
 
With this release, customers who use both EPM SaaS and Privilege Cloud on the CyberArk Identity Security Platform can automatically discover and review local Windows, Windows Server and MacOS accounts on endpoints (including workstations and servers), with Linux account discovery and password rotation coming soon, and onboard them for secure management in CyberArk Privilege Cloud. This capability is available for the above-mentioned customers in all regions, including customers using loosely-connected device (LCD)-only licenses.
 
Together with the existing capability of credential rotation for endpoint accounts, this new service integration improves operational efficiency and reduces the risk of credential misuse. 
 
Automatic discovery is available through both REST API and in the Privilege Cloud Portal under Accounts > Accounts Feed > Discovered Accounts.

The Privilege Cloud Portal Discovery interface enables: 

  • Display of discovered accounts, without previously onboarded accounts. 
  • Account search and filtering. 
  • Selection of single or multiple accounts for onboarding or deletion purposes.
