Which aspect of security does CyberArk EPM specifically focus on improving?

CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) is specifically designed to enhance privilege management within an organization's IT infrastructure. This focus on privilege management entails controlling and monitoring the access rights of users to critical systems and applications, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

By implementing least privilege principles, CyberArk EPM allows organizations to restrict users' permissions to just what they need to perform their job functions. This limitation significantly reduces the attack surface, as it prevents users from executing potentially harmful operations or accessing sensitive data that is not necessary for their roles.

Furthermore, features such as just-in-time elevation, application control, and auditing capabilities help organizations enforce strict policy compliance and maintain a clear record of privilege use, which is essential for security governance. All these aspects contribute to a stronger security posture by actively managing who has access to what, when, and why.
