Question 1

What is the first component installed in a CyberArk deployment?

Accepted Answer

Digital Vault

Answer

The CyberArk Digital Vault is the foundational component of any CyberArk deployment because it securely stores all privileged credentials and secrets. All other CyberArk components, such as PSM, PVWA, and CPM, rely on the Vault to function correctly and retrieve the necessary credentials for their operations, making it the initial installation.

Question 2

Which CyberArk component provides the web interface for user access?

Accepted Answer

PVWA

Answer

The CyberArk Privileged Access Security Web Access (PVWA) provides the intuitive, web-based user interface through which administrators and authorized users interact with the CyberArk solution. It allows them to securely request, retrieve, and manage privileged credentials and sessions without direct access to the underlying Vault.

Question 3

What is the primary function of the CPM in CyberArk?

Accepted Answer

Password management

Answer

The CyberArk Central Policy Manager (CPM) is primarily responsible for automated, policy-based management of privileged account passwords. It enforces password rotation, complexity, and other security policies across a wide range of target systems, ensuring credentials remain secure and compliant without requiring manual intervention.

Question 4

What protocol is typically used for PVWA communication?

Accepted Answer

HTTPS

Answer

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the standard and most secure protocol used for communication with the CyberArk PVWA. It encrypts all data exchanged between the user's browser and the PVWA server, protecting sensitive information like credentials and session data from eavesdropping, tampering, and other cyber threats.

Question 5

Which component facilitates session recording in CyberArk?

Accepted Answer

PSM

Answer

The CyberArk Privileged Session Manager (PSM) is specifically designed to facilitate and record privileged sessions. When a user connects to a target system through PSM, the PSM acts as a secure proxy, capturing all keystrokes, commands, and screen activity, thereby providing a comprehensive and immutable audit trail for compliance and security monitoring.
