What is the outcome of effective monitoring in CyberArk EPM?

Effective monitoring in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) leads to enhanced vulnerability detection, which is crucial in maintaining the security posture of an organization. By continuously tracking user activities and system performance, EPM can identify unauthorized access attempts, anomalies, and potential security threats in real-time. This proactive approach enables security teams to respond promptly and mitigate risks before they escalate into more significant issues, thereby safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. Enhanced vulnerability detection ultimately contributes to a more secure computing environment, allowing organizations to operate with greater confidence.

The other options do not align with the benefits derived from effective monitoring in EPM. Increased system downtime does not relate to monitoring effectiveness but rather to system performance issues that monitoring seeks to minimize. Improved user load times is typically more associated with system optimization and infrastructure rather than security monitoring. Lastly, higher software costs are not a direct outcome of effective monitoring; instead, proper monitoring tends to reduce costs associated with breaches and security incidents.
