The vault server uses a modified version of the Microsoft Windows firewall.

The CyberArk Digital Vault does not use a "modified version" of the Microsoft Windows Firewall. Instead, it utilizes the native, unmodified Windows Defender Firewall provided by the Windows Server operating system. The Vault service dynamically manages and configures the rules of this native firewall based on the parameters defined in the DBParm.ini configuration file. The firewall software itself remains the standard Microsoft executable.

[True] is incorrect because claiming the Vault uses a "modified version" misrepresents the Vault's architecture. CyberArk relies on the native OS capabilities for network filtering and does not alter the underlying Microsoft firewall binaries or services.
