Which component of CyberArk serves as the central management console?

The Central management console within CyberArk is represented by the CyberArk Password Vault Web Access (PVWA). This component provides a web-based interface that allows users to manage and interact with the CyberArk Vault, making it easier to control, monitor, and access privileged accounts and credentials.

PVWA facilitates a user-friendly experience and centralized management capabilities, allowing administrators and users to perform tasks like accessing passwords, managing their vault settings, and key reports. The ability to set policies and manage access permissions is vital for security within privileged account management, which is why PVWA stands out as the central hub for these administrative activities.

The other components serve different specific purposes within the CyberArk ecosystem. For instance, the Enterprise Password Manager focuses more on task automation for credential management, while the Central Policy Manager (CPM) is designed for managing and automating password policies and periodic password changes. CyberArk Session Manager primarily handles session monitoring and control to ensure secure access during privileged sessions. Each plays an important role, but only the PVWA aligns with the role of a central management console, tying all activities together in a cohesive interface.
