How we research and review these pages
Which CyberArk Identity service do you use to find a list of pre-built app connectors?
Correct Answer:
A
Explanation
When an Authentication Policy specifies a target like CyberArk Cloud Directory, the MFA challenge goes to that configured target system. The policy determines where the initial challenge is sent based on the configured settings. The other options would reference different targets or authentication flows that aren't indicated by the policy configuration shown.
Which protocols can CyberArk provide MFA for VPN? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
A, B
Explanation
Identity Provider Initiated login means the user starts their journey in the identity provider itself, not at the application. In this case, the user signs into CyberArk Identity first, then launches the SAML app from there. Service Provider Initiated login would be the opposite, where the user goes to the app first and gets redirected back to authenticate.
Which dashboard can display the applications launched by users, the application type, and the number of times they were launched?
Correct Answer:
A
Explanation
A Bookmark connector is used for applications that don't require authentication. It simply provides a link or shortcut to the resource. Other custom template connectors like form-based or API connectors are designed for systems that do require user credentials or authentication logic.
Which 2FA/MFA options can be used if users cannot use their mobile device? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
A, B
Explanation
To secure certificate enrollment across 1000 machines, you need multiple controls. Setting an expiration date limits when the enrollment code can be used, preventing long-term exposure if the code leaks. Restricting to specific IP segments ensures only machines on the office or VPN network can enroll, preventing unauthorized external endpoints from joining. These two controls together address both time-based and network-based security.
Which settings can help minimize the number of 2FA / MFA prompts? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation
The Windows Device Trust enrollment process allows administrators to configure limits on how many endpoints can join using a single enrollment code. This prevents unlimited registration and helps control device sprawl. You can set a maximum threshold to match your expected device count.
Which feature does the CyberArk Identity Connector provide?
Correct Answer:
B
Explanation
IWA and FIDO2 are authentication methods designed to streamline user access. IWA uses Windows credentials already cached on domain-joined machines, automatically authenticating without additional prompts. FIDO2 is a passwordless method that provides a trusted authentication flow. Both can be configured to bypass standard authentication rules for smoother user experience.
