How are privileged account IDs and passwords described in CyberArk?

In CyberArk, privileged account IDs and passwords are stored in safes as a core feature of the Privileged Access Security framework. Safes in CyberArk act as secure repositories designed to store sensitive information like account credentials, ensuring they are protected from unauthorized access. Each safe can be configured with specific access permissions, allowing organizations to control who can view or retrieve the stored credentials.

This method enhances security by centralizing the management of privileged accounts, making it easier to monitor access and usage, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance with regulations. The security features associated with safes, such as encryption and audit logs, further bolster the protection of these privileged credentials.

The other options do not accurately reflect how CyberArk manages privileged account information. For example, while privileged accounts may indeed have varying access privileges, they are not typically "temporary" as a standard practice nor openly available to the public, both of which would undermine security. Additionally, privileged accounts are actively monitored within CyberArk's system to detect any irregularities or unauthorized attempts to access these sensitive credentials. Therefore, stating that they are not monitored does not align with CyberArk's approach to security.
