Which two methods can be combined to achieve two-factor authentication in CyberArk?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an essential security measure that enhances the protection of sensitive information by requiring two different forms of verification. In the context of CyberArk, combining methods to achieve this layer of security is crucial for safeguarding privileged accounts.

Choosing RADIUS and RSA SecurID as methods for 2FA in CyberArk is effective because RADIUS is a protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users. RSA SecurID is a time-based one-time password (TOTP) technology that generates a unique code for user authentication.

When these two methods are combined, the RADIUS server can communicate with the RSA SecurID tokens to verify the user’s identity. This means that a user would need something they know (like a password) and something they have (like an RSA SecurID token) simultaneously to gain access to CyberArk secured resources. This enhanced security is achieved by requiring both a standard login credential and a dynamic token, which significantly reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access.

Other methods listed do not provide the same level of integration or specialized capability for 2FA within the context of CyberArk. For example, while PKI could be used for securing communications, it does not inherently involve a
