Course Overview

The CyberArk Privileged Account Security (PAS) Administration course by CyberArk is designed for IT security professionals responsible for managing and maintaining the CyberArk PAS solution, including roles such as CyberArk Administrator, PAM Engineer, and Identity Analyst. This training prepares candidates for the CyberArk Defender PAM (PAM-DEF) certification exam, which validates practical skills in daily operations and maintenance of privileged access management systems. Participants gain foundational knowledge in PAS architecture, password management, session monitoring, and access control. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies adopting CyberArk solutions to secure privileged accounts, demand for certified administrators continues to grow across financial services, healthcare, and government sectors.

Students engage with core CyberArk components including Enterprise Password Vault (EPV), Central Policy Manager (CPM), Password Vault Web Access (PVWA), Privileged Session Manager (PSM), and PSMP during hands-on lab exercises. Using a dedicated Skytap-based lab environment, learners configure password verification, change, and reconciliation workflows, onboard accounts via Password Upload Utility (PUU), and direct sessions through PSM for recording and auditing. A key practical exercise involves setting up a fully functional test environment within the Vault, enabling students to simulate real-world scenarios such as safe creation, user access provisioning, and policy enforcement. These labs follow official CyberArk step-by-step guides, ensuring alignment with deployment best practices and real operational requirements.

Achieving the CyberArk Defender PAM (PAM-DEF) certification enhances career prospects in the high-demand field of identity security, with certified professionals earning average salaries between $90,000 and $145,000 annually in the United States. Koenig Solutions supports this journey with Guaranteed-to-Run training, official CyberArk courseware, and expert-led instruction that ensures deep technical mastery. Graduates are equipped to perform critical administrative tasks like system monitoring, audit reporting, and troubleshooting using CyberArk’s knowledge base and logs.
