经常被问到的问题

What is Privileged Access Management (PAM)?

PAM secures and manages accounts with elevated permissions (admin, root, service accounts). CyberArk vaults credentials, controls access, monitors sessions, and enforces least privilege to prevent credential theft and insider threats.

How does CyberArk prevent credential theft?

CyberArk stores credentials in an encrypted vault, rotates passwords automatically, requires just-in-time access approval, records privileged sessions, and detects anomalous behavior using AI—preventing attackers from stealing and reusing credentials.

What's the difference between PAM and EPM?

PAM (Privileged Access Management) secures admin accounts. EPM (Endpoint Privilege Management) removes admin rights from endpoints and elevates only when needed. CyberArk offers both to implement comprehensive least privilege.

Is CyberArk cloud-based or on-premise?

Both. CyberArk Privilege Cloud is SaaS. Self-Hosted allows on-premise or private cloud deployment. Many enterprises use hybrid—cloud management with on-premise vaults for sensitive credentials.

How long does CyberArk implementation take?

Typical enterprise deployments take 3-9 months depending on scope, number of systems, and organizational complexity. Phased rollouts starting with critical systems are recommended to demonstrate value early.
