CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 52

An organization wants to implement a privileged access management solution to better manage the use of emergency and privileged service accounts. Which of the following would BEST satisfy the organization’s goal?

Answer options

• A. Access control lists
• B. Discretionary access controls
• C. Policy-based access controls
• D. Credential vaulting

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Credential vaulting is specifically designed to securely store and manage credentials for privileged accounts, making it the best choice for managing emergency and privileged service accounts. The other options, such as access control lists and discretionary access controls, pertain to broader access management but do not focus on the specialized needs of credential management.
