What does the integration with LDAP help in CyberArk EPM?

The integration with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) is primarily centered around synchronizing user and group information. LDAP is widely used as a directory service to manage and store user credentials, access permissions, and group memberships within an organization. By integrating with LDAP, CyberArk EPM can streamline user management processes, ensuring that any changes made in the LDAP directory, such as additions or modifications of users and groups, are automatically reflected in the EPM system.

This synchronization is critical for efficient administration of user access and privileges, allowing organizations to manage user rights effectively and maintain compliance with security policies. With up-to-date user and group information, CyberArk EPM can assign appropriate privileges based on roles or organizational structure, bolstering security while reducing the likelihood of privilege misuse.

The other options do not align with the functionalities provided by LDAP integration in CyberArk EPM. While backing up files and updating security policy documentation are important tasks, they do not pertain to LDAP's role. Similarly, establishing a database connection does not relate to the managing of user and group data, which is specifically the strength of LDAP integration.
