Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning of privileged access
Why this is correct
JIT provisioning grants temporary elevated privileges, reducing risk.
- ✗
Single sign-on for all applications
Why it's wrong here
SSO is not a PAM-specific capability; it's a broader access management feature.
- ✓
Password vaulting for storing privileged credentials securely
Why this is correct
Password vaulting is a core PAM feature.
- ✗
Self-service password reset for end users
Why it's wrong here
Self-service password reset is not specific to privileged access; it's a general IAM feature.

Recording and monitoring of privileged sessions
Why this is correct
