CyberArk Defender – Endpoint Privilege Manager — Question 112

How does a Trusted Source policy affect an application?

Answer options

• A. Applications will be allowed to run and will only elevate if required.
• B. Applications will be allowed to run and will inherit the process token from the EPM agent.
• C. Applications will be allowed to run always in elevated mode.
• D. Application from the defined trusted sources must be configured on a per applicationbasis, in order to define run and elevation parameters.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, indicates that applications can run normally and only request elevated privileges when needed, which aligns with the intent of a Trusted Source policy. Options B and C misrepresent the policy's behavior by implying automatic inheritance of tokens or constant elevation, which is not typical. Option D incorrectly suggests that trusted applications require individual configurations, whereas the policy is meant to simplify application management.
