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.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Install the CPM on the target workstations
Why it's wrong here
The CPM handles password rotation, not session recording.
- ✓
Deploy a PSM component in the target network segment
Why this is correct
The PSM handles the protocol proxying and visual recording of the privileged session.
- ✗
Configure the Vault to use an external LDAP proxy
Why it's wrong here
LDAP proxying handles authentication traffic, not privileged session management.
- ✗
Deploy the PVWA directly in the DMZ
Why it's wrong here
The PVWA is the interface, but it does not perform the session recording/isolation function.
