What are the three safes created during the installation of Vault?

The three safes created during the installation of Vault — Notification Engine, System, and VaultInternal — serve essential functions in the CyberArk environment.

The Notification Engine safe stores credentials that allow the Vault to communicate with the Notification Engine service, enabling alerts and notifications based on predefined conditions. This is crucial for maintaining awareness of system status and alerts regarding any activities that require administrator attention.

The System safe is a central repository for CyberArk's internal processes and configurations. It typically contains critical information necessary for the overall operation of the CyberArk platform, including configurations related to other components, making it pivotal for the system’s functionality and integrity.

The VaultInternal safe is specifically designed to store data required for internal Vault operations, including the storage of administrative credentials and other components vital for the secure and effective management of privileged accounts and access.

Together, these safes ensure the secure operation and communication of various aspects of the CyberArk PAS, which is integral for managing privileged access securely and effectively within an organization.
