Question #: 24
Topic #: 2
[All CPC-SEN Questions]

According to best practice, when considering the location of PSM Connector servers in Privilege Cloud environments, where should the PSM be placed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct statement about using the AllowedSafes platform parameter is that it prevents the Central Policy Manager (CPM) from scanning all safes, restricting it to scan only safes that match the AllowedSafes configuration. This parameter is crucial in large-scale deployments where efficiency and resource management are key. By specifying which safes the CPM should manage, unnecessary scanning of irrelevant safes is avoided, thus optimizing the CPM's performance and reducing the load on the CyberArk environment. This configuration can be found in the platform management section of the CyberArk documentation.

Definitely not near the CPM servers, that’s not efficient.

I feel like the PSM should be near the Vault, especially since it needs to connect to the external internet. But I can't recall the exact reasoning.

I remember a practice question that mentioned placing the PSM closer to the CPM servers. That might be the right answer, but I could be mixing it up.

I've got this one! The PSM Connector servers should be placed near the Vault, closer to the external internet connection, to ensure secure access and communication.

The users? Really? I'd rather not have them anywhere near the sensitive stuff. Might as well just give them the admin passwords while we're at it.

I'd go with option B. Putting the PSM close to the target devices just makes sense - it's where the action is happening!
