Explanation
Workday supports synchronization to both Active Directory (AD) and CyberArk Identity Cloud Directory through its robust identity and provisioning integrations. CyberArk Identity natively supports Workday as an HR-driven provisioning source, enabling user lifecycle events (hire, transfer, terminate) to propagate to both AD and the CyberArk cloud directory automatically.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- BambooHR (A) integrates with various tools but is not a documented source for CyberArk Identity Cloud Directory synchronization - it's better known for lightweight SMB HR needs.
- SAP SuccessFactors (C) has identity provisioning capabilities but is not a primary supported source for the specific AD + CyberArk Identity Cloud dual-sync scenario described.
- Prosoft HRMS/Unit4 (D) is a regional/niche HRMS with limited native identity provider integrations and is not documented as a CyberArk Identity source.
Memory tip: Think "Workday Works With everything" - Workday is the enterprise-grade HR platform most commonly cited in PAM (Privileged Access Management) and identity governance vendor documentation, including CyberArk's own integration guides. If an exam question pairs an HRMS with a security/identity platform like CyberArk, Workday is almost always the answer.
