What is a primary reason for installing multiple active CPMs?

The primary reason for installing multiple active CPMs (Central Password Managers) is to avoid system overload during peak hours. In environments with many systems and high demand for password management, a single CPM can become a bottleneck, leading to delays in access and potential service failures. Distributing the workload across multiple active CPMs helps ensure that the password management service remains responsive and reliable, enhancing overall system performance.

While managing user access speed, firewall rules, and security policies are important considerations in a robust cybersecurity strategy, they are secondary to the core functionality required for seamless password management under varying loads. Multiple active CPMs specifically address the need for capacity and performance optimization, particularly during times when password requests may spike.
