What do Vault Administrators use CPM for?

Vault Administrators utilize the Central Password Manager (CPM) primarily to set policies for password changes. This functionality is crucial in maintaining the security of privileged accounts by automating the management of passwords, which includes establishing rules regarding how often passwords should be changed, what complexity requirements must be met, and ensuring that the changes comply with organizational security standards.

By using CPM, administrators can enforce password policies consistently across various systems and applications, reducing the risk of human error during password handling. This automation also helps in meeting compliance and audit requirements, as it provides reliable tracking of password change events and adherence to policies.

The focus on password management and policy enforcement distinguishes this function from other options. For instance, the creation of privileged accounts is typically conducted through different mechanisms that involve setting up user identities rather than managing existing passwords. Similarly, managing session recordings and monitoring user sessions are more associated with other components of CyberArk's security framework, focusing on operational security rather than password management per se.
