CyberArk Defender Practice Exam

CyberArk's Threat Analytics enhances security primarily by monitoring and alerting on suspicious privileged account activities. This functionality is crucial because privileged accounts often hold significant access rights within an organization, making them prime targets for cyber threats. By continuously analyzing the activities associated with these accounts, Threat Analytics can detect anomalous behaviors, such as unauthorized access attempts or unusual patterns of usage.

When suspicious activities are identified, the system can generate alerts for immediate investigation, allowing security teams to respond quickly to potential threats. This proactive approach helps in preventing potential breaches or misuse of sensitive information, thus strengthening an organization’s overall security posture.

The other options do not address the core function of Threat Analytics in a manner that enhances cybersecurity effectively. For instance, automated backups and comprehensive training programs, while important for general data protection and user awareness, do not specifically monitor or respond to the activities of privileged accounts. Similarly, analyzing network speeds and efficiencies is more focused on performance than on security outcomes pertaining to privileged access, which is the main area of concern for CyberArk's Threat Analytics.
