What is the purpose of CyberArk's privileged account discovery tool?

The primary purpose of CyberArk's privileged account discovery tool is to automate the identification and classification of privileged accounts within an organization. Privileged accounts are critical assets that have elevated access to sensitive systems and data. These accounts can pose significant security risks if not properly managed and monitored. The discovery tool plays a crucial role in security by enabling organizations to gain visibility into all privileged accounts, including those that may have been created over time without proper oversight.

By automating this process, the tool helps organizations accurately assess their security posture regarding privileged access, ensuring that all accounts are accounted for and managed appropriately. This can significantly enhance an organization's security strategy, enabling better compliance with regulatory standards and reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Tracking employee productivity, detecting malware attacks, and managing user training modules do not directly relate to the core functionality of the privileged account discovery tool, as its focus is specifically on securing privileged access rather than these other operational concerns.
