Risk-Based Authentication

Risk-based authentication offers greater security

Risk-based authentication has become a significant tool for organizations seeking to defend against threats to consumer identities and information. In a risk-based authentication solution, the amount of proof that users are asked to provide to verify their identities increases or decreases based on the amount of risk in the transaction.

Risk-based authentication is widely used in the financial services arena and is becoming more prevalent in other industries, as well as a strategy for preventing fraud. For companies seeking a market-leading approach to risk-based authentication, Entrust has the answer.

Risk-based authentication

Entrust delivers innovative risk-based authentication solutions

Entrust provides governments, organizations and consumers with market-leading solutions for layered security. Combining two Entrust products - Entrust IdentityGuard and Entrust TransactionGuard - organizations can deploy an innovative and highly effective solution for risk-based authentication. Entrust's solution combines strong authentication with fraud detection for a single, cohesive solution.

• Entrust IdentityGuard is a versatile authentication platform that provides a wide variety of open-multifactor authentication capabilities. With Entrust IdentityGuard, organizations can choose the method of authentication that makes the most sense, not only in terms of cost and usability, but also in terms of how best to address the risk involved in a given transaction. Entrust IdentityGuard enables risk-based authentication based on IP-geolocation and the ability to leverage data delivered through the Entrust Open Fraud Intelligence Network.
• Entrust TransactionGuard is a software-based monitoring tool that identifies potential fraud based on behavior and access patterns. By rapidly translating large volumes of data from data streams into intelligible information, Entrust TransactionGuard allows organizations to seamlessly match the method of authentication with an identified risk. Login attempts from an unknown machine or risky location, large transfers of information, and changes to personal information are examples of suspicious behavior and potentially high risk activity that may be attempts at fraud - and which Entrust TransactionGuard can monitor and identify.

Open Fraud Intelligence Network supports risk-based authentication

The Entrust Open Fraud Intelligence Network is an information-sharing service that organizations can use to help fight online fraud. The network consolidates and shares key fraud behavior patterns and data among network participants. By gathering information from a variety of sources, it represents a powerful new weapon in the war on fraud.

Entrust also provides solutions for two factor authentication and certificate authentication, market-leading certificate authorities and SSL certificate technology, digital certificate and device certificate solutions, server certificate software, and more.
