350-701 Practice Question: Wants to implement Privileged Access Management…
An organization wants to implement Privileged Access Management (PAM) using Cisco SecureX and CyberArk. Which THREE capabilities are typically associated with PAM solutions? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between PAM-specific features (password vaulting, JIT access, session recording) and general endpoint security controls (isolation, quarantine), so candidates mistakenly select options that sound security-related but are not part of privileged access management.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Password vaulting
Password vaulting (B) is a core PAM capability because it securely stores privileged credentials in an encrypted repository, enforcing policies for checkout, rotation, and access control. CyberArk's Vault, for example, uses AES-256 encryption and integrates with Cisco SecureX to provide centralized credential management, ensuring that passwords are never exposed in plaintext.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Endpoint isolation
Why it's wrong here
Endpoint isolation is an EDR feature, not PAM.
- ✓
Password vaulting
Why this is correct
Correct. PAM stores and manages privileged passwords.
- ✓
Just-in-time access
Why this is correct
Correct. JIT access grants temporary privileged access.
- ✓
Session recording
Why this is correct
Correct. PAM records sessions for auditing.
- ✗
File quarantine
Why it's wrong here
File quarantine is an endpoint security feature.
Quick reference
Symmetric Encryption Algorithm Comparison
| Algorithm | Key Size | Block Size | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AES-128 | 128-bit | 128-bit | Current standard | NIST approved; WPA3, TLS |
| AES-256 | 256-bit | 128-bit | Current standard | Preferred for sensitive / govt data |
| 3DES | 112-bit effective | 64-bit | Deprecated (2023) | Replaced by AES |
| DES | 56-bit | 64-bit | Broken | Cracked in < 24 h; never deploy |
| ChaCha20 | 256-bit | Stream cipher | Current | TLS 1.3, WireGuard |
