PAM-SEN Exam - Question 53


Which statement is correct about a post-install hardening?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

Post-install hardening for Vault is performed after the installation by executing the CAVaultHarden.exe utility. The hardening options can be modified by changing the settings in the Hardening.ini file. This process is distinct from any hardening done during the installation itself and is specifically designed to strengthen security configurations post-installation.

The questions is about post-install hardening, so C is the right answer, because that is how post-install hardening is done, if not completed during installation. https://docs.cyberark.com/Product-Doc/OnlineHelp/PAS/Latest/en/Content/PASIMP/Utility-CAVaultHarden.htm

Another weird one, C. appears to be the most sensible answer however I haven’t seen any indication that it is impossible to run it unhardened (not that that would make much sense but still) and once it has been hardened the process is definitely irreversible as per the reference so D. may also technically be possible (albeit very dumb) but that not withstanding I think C. would be the correct answer. https://docs.cyberark.com/PAS/Latest/en/Content/PASIMP/Utility-CAVaultHarden.htm#:~:text=Server/Hardening%20folder.-,Run%20the%20CAVaultHarden%20utility,-as%20an%20administrator
