When configuring firewall rules for CyberArk Privilege Cloud, it is essential to allow bi-directional communication between the Privilege Cloud components and the CyberArk Privilege Cloud. This ensures that all necessary communications for operations and management can occur securely in both directions.

The basic network requirements to deploy a CyberArk Privilege Management Central Policy Manager (CPM) server include Port 1858 to the Privilege Cloud Vault service backend and Port 443 to the Privilege Cloud Portal. Port 1858 is necessary for communication with the CyberArk Vault, facilitating essential interactions like password retrieval and updates. Port 443 is required for secure web traffic to and from the Privilege Cloud Portal, ensuring that all management tasks performed through the web interface are secure and encrypted. These ports must be properly configured to allow for the efficient and secure operation of the CPM within the Privilege Cloud infrastructure.

The default username for the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for SSH maintenance user in CyberArk Privilege Cloud is psmp_maintenance. This account is used for maintenance purposes and is integral for administrative tasks and configurations related to SSH sessions managed by the PSM. The username is predefined and standardized across deployments to maintain consistency and ensure security best practices are adhered to. The username is mentioned in the CyberArk official documentation regarding PSM configuration for SSH.

In CyberArk Privilege Cloud, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can be configured to enhance security by requiring multiple methods of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user's identity. The available authentication methods include:

• Windows Authentication: Leverages the user's Windows credentials.
• PKI (Public Key Infrastructure): Utilizes certificates to authenticate.
• RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service): A networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting management.
• CyberArk: Uses CyberArk's own authentication methods.
• LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol): Protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services.
• SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language): An open standard that allows identity providers to pass authorization credentials to service providers.
• OpenID Connect (OIDC): An authentication layer on top of OAuth 2.0, an authorization framework.

Reference for this can be found in the CyberArk Privilege Cloud documentation, which details the integration and setup of MFA using these methods.
