What is the function of the Privileged Account Inventory Report?

The Privileged Account Inventory Report serves to provide a comprehensive overview of all privileged accounts within an organization's environment. This report is critical for understanding the landscape of privileged access, as it includes vital information such as the account names, the systems to which they have access, and their status. The ability to view and assess this information allows administrators and security teams to ensure that policies regarding the management of privileged accounts are being adhered to, identify any potential security risks associated with those accounts, and maintain compliance with regulatory and organizational standards.

Having a clear perspective on all privileged accounts enables organizations to perform better audits, enforce least privilege access principles, and align access controls with organizational needs. This function is foundational for effectively managing privileged access security, which is at the core of CyberArk's capabilities.
