What is the initial step in the Password Management Workflow according to CyberArk PAS?

The initial step in the Password Management Workflow in CyberArk Privileged Access Security is to review or edit the Master Policy. This step is vital because the Master Policy serves as the foundational framework for how password management functions within the CyberArk environment. It defines the rules, settings, and procedures that guide how passwords for privileged accounts are handled, including aspects like password complexity, rotation frequency, and access controls.

Establishing or modifying the Master Policy first ensures that all subsequent actions, such as creating safes or platforms or adding exceptions, align with the defined security posture and organizational requirements. By doing this, administrators can ensure that the environment adheres to compliance and security standards from the very beginning of the workflow process.
