In CyberArk, what is a "safe"?

In CyberArk, a "safe" is defined as a container used to store credentials securely. This concept is crucial in cybersecurity, particularly for managing and protecting sensitive information like passwords and access keys. Safes provide a logical structure within the CyberArk environment that allows organizations to categorize, control, and secure access to various credentials.

The safe not only houses sensitive data but also implements security measures such as access policies, permissions, and auditing capabilities. This ensures that only authorized users can access the credentials stored within, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches.

Safes are integral to CyberArk's privilege management solutions, enabling organizations to maintain a high level of security while also enforcing compliance through proper management of credential storage and usage.
