CyberArk Trustee – Privileged Access Management — Question 82

When managing SSH keys, the CPM stores the Private Key

Answer options

• A. In the Vault
• B. On the target server
• C. A & B
• D. Nowhere because the private key can always be generated from the public key.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the CPM (Centralized Password Manager) securely stores the Private Key in the Vault for protection and management. Option B is incorrect as the Private Key should not be stored on the target server, and option C is wrong as it suggests both A and B are true, which they are not. Option D is also incorrect since while the public key can generate a private key, it is not a secure practice to rely on this method alone.
