Assuming a safe has been configured to be accessible during certain hours of the day, a Vault Admin may still access that safe outside of those hours.

  1. TRUE
  2. FALSE

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A Vault Admin may still access a safe outside of the hours that it has been configured to be accessible, as long as he has the Bypass Safe Time Restrictions authorization on the Vault. The Bypass Safe Time Restrictions authorization enables a user to access any safe in the Vault, regardless of the time restrictions that are defined for that safe. This authorization is useful for emergency situations or maintenance tasks that require access to safes outside of the normal working hours. By default, the Vault Admins group has this authorization, as well as other administrative authorizations on the Vault.

The Accounts Feed contains:

  1. Accounts that were discovered by CyberArk in the last 30 days
  2. Accounts that were discovered by CyberArk that have not yet been onboarded
  3. All accounts added to the vault in the last 30 days
  4. All users added to CyberArk in the last 30 days

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Accounts Feed is a feature of the CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution that enables the discovery and provisioning of privileged accounts in the environment. The Accounts Feed contains the accounts that were discovered by CyberArk that have not yet been onboarded to the Vault. These accounts are displayed in the Pending Accounts page in the PVWA, where the user can view, analyze, and onboard them according to various criteria. The Accounts Feed helps the user to identify and manage the unmanaged privileged accounts that pose a security risk.
The other options are not correct, because:
A . Accounts that were discovered by CyberArk in the last 30 days. This is not correct, because the Accounts Feed does not contain all the accounts that were discovered by CyberArk in the last 30 days, but only the ones that have not yet been onboarded. The accounts that were already onboarded to the Vault are not part of the Accounts Feed, but are displayed in the Accounts page in the PVWA1.
C . All accounts added to the vault in the last 30 days. This is not correct, because the Accounts Feed does not contain the accounts that were added to the Vault, but the ones that are waiting to be onboarded. The accounts that were added to the Vault are not part of the Accounts Feed, but are displayed in the Accounts page in the PVWA1.
D . All users added to CyberArk in the last 30 days. This is not correct, because the Accounts Feed does not contain the users that were added to CyberArk, but the accounts that are waiting to be onboarded. The users that were added to CyberArk are not part of the Accounts Feed, but are displayed in the Users page in the PVWA1.

What is the primary purpose of One Time Passwords?

  1. Reduced risk of credential theft
  2. More frequent password changes
  3. Non-repudiation (individual accountability)
  4. To force a 'collusion to commit' fraud ensuring no single actor may use a password without authorization.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

One Time Passwords (OTPs) are passwords that are valid for only one use or a limited time period. The primary purpose of OTPs is to reduce the risk of credential theft, which is a common attack vector for hackers and malicious insiders. By using OTPs, the exposure of the credentials is minimized, and the attacker cannot reuse the stolen password to access the target system. OTPs also enhance the security of the authentication process, as they add an extra layer of verification to the user's identity. OTPs can be generated by various methods, such as SMS, email, hardware tokens, software tokens, etc.
The other options are not the primary purpose of OTPs, because:
B . More frequent password changes. This is not the primary purpose of OTPs, but a consequence of using them. OTPs require more frequent password changes, as they expire after one use or a limited time period. However, this is not the main goal of using OTPs, but rather a means to achieve the goal of reducing the risk of credential theft.
C . Non-repudiation (individual accountability). This is not the primary purpose of OTPs, but a benefit of using them. Non-repudiation means that the user cannot deny performing an action or accessing a resource, as there is sufficient evidence to prove their identity and activity. OTPs can help achieve non-repudiation, as they are unique and personal to each user, and can be traced back to the user's device or account. However, this is not the main goal of using OTPs, but rather an advantage of using them.
D . To force a `collusion to commit' fraud ensuring no single actor may use a password without authorization. This is not the primary purpose of OTPs, but a feature of using them. OTPs can help prevent unauthorized access to privileged accounts, as they require the user to have both the OTP and the regular password to access the target system. This means that no single actor can use the password without authorization, as they would need the cooperation of another actor who has the OTP. However, this is not the main goal of using OTPs, but rather a capability of using them.

Users who have the 'Access Safe without confirmation' safe permission on a safe where accounts are configured for Dual control, still need to request approval to use the account.

  1. TRUE
  2. FALSE

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Users who have the `Access Safe without confirmation' safe permission on a safe where accounts are configured for Dual control, do not need to request approval to use the account. The `Access Safe without confirmation' safe permission is a special permission that allows a user to bypass the Dual control mechanism and access the accounts in the safe without requiring confirmation from other authorized users. This permission can be useful for emergency situations or trusted users who need immediate access to the accounts. However, this permission also increases the risk of unauthorized or malicious access, so it should be granted with caution and monitored closely.

Ad-Hoc Access (formerly Secure Connect) provides the following features. Choose all that apply.

  1. PSM connections to target devices that are not managed by CyberArk.
  2. Session Recording.
  3. Real-time live session monitoring.
  4. PSM connections from a terminal without the need to login to the PVWA.

Answer(s): A,B,C

Explanation:

Ad-Hoc Access (formerly Secure Connect) is a feature that allows users to connect to target devices that are not managed by CyberArk through the PSM. Users can specify the address, username, and password of the target device, and select a client to launch the connection. Ad-Hoc Access sessions benefit from the standard PSM features, such as session recording, detailed auditing, and real-time live session monitoring. However, Ad-Hoc Access does not allow users to connect from a terminal without logging in to the PVWA, as this would bypass the authentication and authorization mechanisms of CyberArk.

When a group is granted the 'Authorize Account Requests' permission on a safe Dual Control requests must be approved by

  1. Any one person from that group
  2. Every person from that group
  3. The number of persons specified by the Master Policy
  4. That access cannot be granted to groups

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When a group is granted the `Authorize Account Requests' permission on a safe, dual control requests must be approved by the number of persons specified by the Master Policy. This means that the request will be sent to all the members of the group, but only a certain number of them need to confirm it for the request to be authorized. The Master Policy defines the number of required approvers for each level of confirmation, as well as the number of levels. For example, if the Master Policy requires two approvers at the first level and one approver at the second level, then the request will be sent to the group and two members of the group must confirm it before it is sent to the second level of confirmation, where one more approver is needed.

When managing SSH keys, the CPM stored the Private Key

  1. In the Vault
  2. On the target server
  3. A & B
  4. Nowhere because the private key can always be generated from the public key.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When managing SSH keys, the CPM stores the private key in the Vault. The CPM generates a new random SSH key pair and updates the public SSH key on the target server. The new private SSH key is then stored in the Digital Vault where it benefits from all the accessibility and security features of the Vault. The private SSH key is never stored on the target server, as this would expose it to unauthorized access or theft. The private SSH key cannot be generated from the public key, as this would defeat the purpose of asymmetric encryption.
