What is the primary goal of the Privilege Management feature in EPM?

The primary goal of the Privilege Management feature in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) is to reduce the attack surface. Privilege Management is designed to minimize the number of users or applications that have elevated privileges, thereby limiting the potential entry points for attackers. By controlling which users have access to administrative rights and managing their privileges dynamically, organizations can significantly reduce their vulnerability to malware and other security threats.

This approach not only enhances security by preventing unauthorized access but also allows for a more controlled environment where necessary privileges can be granted temporarily or on a case-by-case basis. As a result, even if a user account is compromised, the attackers would have a reduced ability to exploit that access due to the limited privileges assigned, thus making it harder for them to carry out harmful activities.

The other options, while they have their own importance in security practices, do not capture the core objective of Privilege Management in the context of EPM as effectively as reducing the attack surface does. Managing user credentials, automating password rotation, and facilitating access logging are crucial components of a comprehensive security strategy, but they represent different aspects of security management rather than the primary focus of Privilege Management itself.
