What distinguishes CyberArk EPM from traditional endpoint security solutions?

CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) is distinguished by its emphasis on privilege management and access control. Unlike traditional endpoint security solutions, which primarily focus on detecting malware, protecting against unauthorized access, and safeguarding network perimeters, CyberArk EPM specifically targets the management of user privileges on endpoints. This means it provides mechanisms to control which applications users can run, what administrative actions they can perform, and how sensitive data is accessed.

By implementing least privilege principles, CyberArk EPM reduces the attack surface and minimizes the risk of exploitation from compromised accounts. This targeted approach allows organizations to enhance their security posture significantly, as it acknowledges that many security breaches occur due to excessive privileges assigned to users.

The other options do not accurately describe the core functionalities of CyberArk EPM. For instance, the focus on network security is a fundamental aspect of traditional security solutions, not CyberArk EPM. Free licenses are not a characteristic feature of CyberArk EPM, and the claim that it does not support endpoint devices contradicts its purpose as a solution specifically designed for endpoint security management.
