Which option ensures that service accounts are properly managed within CyberArk?

Using a reconcile account at the platform level is essential for effective management of service accounts within CyberArk. This approach ensures that the service accounts are regularly monitored and maintained in accordance with security policies.

A reconcile account serves as a dedicated account tasked with managing the reconciliation process for service accounts. It allows CyberArk to verify that the credentials of service accounts remain secure and synchronized with the expected values. This verification process helps to prevent unauthorized access and ensures that any deviations from normal behavior can be promptly addressed. Implementing this at the platform level enhances automation, provides consistent oversight, and minimizes the risk of human error that may occur during manual processes.

By actively managing service accounts in this way, organizations can maintain compliance with security frameworks and avoid potential vulnerabilities associated with unmanaged accounts, ultimately resulting in improved security posture.
