The CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager credential validates a professional’s ability to configure, deploy, and manage CyberArk’s solution for enforcing least-privilege access on endpoints. It is designed for security administrators, desktop engineers, identity and access management (IAM) specialists, and IT professionals responsible for reducing endpoint attack surfaces by controlling local privileges and application access. This certification demonstrates proficiency in implementing policies that protect workstations and servers from malware, ransomware, and insider threats without disrupting user productivity.

Key knowledge areas include:
– Understanding Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) architecture, components, and policy framework
– Configuring policies to remove local administrator rights and enforce least privilege
– Managing application control, whitelisting, and greylisting
– Monitoring and auditing endpoint activity for security and compliance
– Integrating EPM with directories, multifactor authentication, and security tools
– Implementing advanced privilege elevation and credential protection features
– Troubleshooting endpoint agent deployment and policy conflicts
– Applying best practices for rollout, maintenance, and reporting

The CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager practice tests replicate scenarios such as deploying EPM agents to workstations and servers, configuring policies to block unauthorized applications, elevating privileges for approved tasks, monitoring endpoint activities, and resolving policy-related issues. These assessments help candidates demonstrate their ability to reduce endpoint risks while maintaining operational efficiency.

By earning the CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager certification, professionals demonstrate their capability to strengthen endpoint security by eliminating unnecessary privileges and controlling application execution. This credential enhances qualifications for roles such as endpoint security engineer, PAM administrator, desktop engineer, or IAM specialist responsible for enterprise endpoint controls. It also signals to employers that the credential holder has the expertise to implement CyberArk’s endpoint privilege management solution in compliance with organizational security policies and regulatory requirements. Achieving this certification positions professionals to lead endpoint privilege reduction initiatives, integrate EPM into broader security programs, and support an organization’s zero-trust security strategy.
