What is a key feature of Secure Connect (PSM)?

Secure Connect (PSM) is designed to facilitate secure connections to target systems and applications while providing oversight and management for privileged access. A key feature is its ability to allow connections to unmanaged accounts, which means it can connect to resources that are not stored or managed within the CyberArk Vault. This extends the functionality of PSM to a broader range of environments and systems, improving flexibility in how organizations manage and secure their privileged access.

The focus on unmanaged accounts enables organizations to maintain security across diverse IT environments without the strict requirement that every account be stored in the CyberArk Vault. This feature supports a more comprehensive approach to security since it allows secure access to resources that may not yet be integrated into a central management system.

The other options present limitations related to authentication and user credentials, which do not accurately reflect the capabilities of Secure Connect in its intended use.
