What does the UseVaultAuthentication parameter enforce?

The UseVaultAuthentication parameter is specifically designed to enforce two-factor authentication. This approach enhances security by requiring two distinct forms of verification before granting access. Typically, one factor is something the user knows, such as a password, and the other is something the user has, often a token or a mobile device.

Two-factor authentication is increasingly important in cybersecurity, especially in environments like CyberArk, where protecting sensitive data and systems is critical. By enforcing this parameter, organizations ensure that even if a user's password is compromised, the additional authentication factor helps prevent unauthorized access.

Other authentication methods, such as single factor, third-party, or biometric authentication, do not meet the criteria defined by the UseVaultAuthentication parameter, which specifically supports and necessitates the combination of two different authentication factors for a robust security framework.
