What is a requirement for forwarding activity records to SIEM or SYSLOG servers?

For forwarding activity records to SIEM or SYSLOG servers, having audit records configured to forward is essential. This configuration ensures that the necessary logs and activity records from CyberArk are sent to external monitoring and security systems for analytical purposes.

The configuration process typically involves specifying which events or actions need to be recorded and subsequently sent to the SIEM or SYSLOG servers. This is crucial for maintaining an effective security posture, as it enables organizations to collect, analyze, and respond to potential security incidents in real-time effectively.

Without this configuration, there would be no mechanism in place to relay relevant information, making it impossible for the SIEM or SYSLOG servers to monitor activities effectively or alert on suspicious behavior. Thus, proper configuration is a foundational step for ensuring that your security monitoring solutions can function as intended.
