When managing SSH keys, the CPM stores the Public Key

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

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When managing SSH keys, the CPM stores the public key on the target server. The CPM generates a new random SSH key pair and updates the public SSH key on the target machine. The public SSH key is stored in the home directory of the privileged user on the target machine, usually in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. The public SSH key is not stored in the Vault, as this would be redundant and unnecessary. The public SSH key cannot be generated from the private key, as this would defeat the purpose of asymmetric encryption.

  1. TRUE
  2. FALSE

Answer(s): B



Which parameter controls how often the CPM looks for Soon-to-be-expired Passwords that need to be changed.

  2. Interval
  3. ImmediateInterval
  4. The CPM does not change the password under this circumstance

Answer(s): A



Vault admins must manually add the auditors' group to newly created safes so auditors will have sufficient access to run reports.

  1. TRUE
  2. FALSE

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Vault admins do not need to manually add the auditors' group to newly created safes, because the auditors' group is automatically added to every safe in the vault by default. The auditors' group has the View Audit authorization, which allows its members to view the safe's activity and run reports. However, vault admins can remove the auditors' group from specific safes if they want to restrict the access of the auditors.

Which of the following Privileged Session Management solutions provide a detailed audit log of session activities?

  1. PSM (i.e., launching connections by clicking on the "Connect" button in the PVWA)
  2. PSM for Windows (previously known as RDP Proxy)
  3. PSM for SSH (previously known as PSM SSH Proxy)
  4. All of the above

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

All of the Privileged Session Management solutions provide a detailed audit log of session activities. PSM, PSM for Windows, and PSM for SSH enable organizations to secure, control and monitor privileged access to network devices by using Vaulting technology to manage privileged accounts and create detailed session audits and video recordings of all IT administrator privileged sessions on remote machines. PSM also provides additional audit features such as SQL Command Level Audit, Windows Events Audit, and Universal Keystrokes Audit. PSM for Web captures a detailed transcript of cloud application user activity to enable a security manager or auditor the ability to monitor sessions for suspicious or restricted operations.

What is the primary purpose of Dual Control?

  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): D

Explanation:

Dual control is a feature of CyberArk Defender PAM that enables authorized Safe owners to either grant or deny requests to access accounts. This feature adds an additional measure of protection, in that it enables you to see who wants to access the information in the Safe, when, and for what purpose. The Master Policy enables organizations to ensure that passwords can only be retrieved after permission or `confirmation' has been granted from an authorized Safe Owner (s). This is known as Dual Control. The primary purpose of dual control is to prevent a single user from accessing a sensitive account without authorization, which could lead to fraud or misuse of privileges. By requiring confirmation from another authorized user, dual control ensures that there is a `collusion to commit' fraud, meaning that at least two users are involved in the malicious activity and are accountable for it.

Time of day or day of week restrictions on when password verifications can occur configured in ____________________.

  1. The Master Policy
  2. The Platform settings
  3. The Safe settings
  4. The Account Details

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Time of day or day of week restrictions on when password verifications can occur are configured in the Safe settings. This is a security feature that prevents Safes from being opened except at certain times (e.g., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). If a user tries to enter at a time that has not been designated for access, they will receive a message that informs them that the Safe is unavailable.

Which parameter controls how often the CPM looks for accounts that need to be changed from recently completed Dual control requests.

  1. HeadStartInterval
  2. Interval
  3. ImmediateInterval
  4. The CPM does not change the password under this circumstance

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This parameter controls how often the CPM looks for accounts that need to be changed from recently completed Dual control requests. It is set in the Master Policy under the Dual Control section. The value of this parameter determines the frequency of the CPM's verification process for accounts that have been accessed by users who have received confirmation from authorized Safe owners. The CPM will change the password of these accounts according to the value of this parameter.
