Get risk-based adaptive authentication that works behind the scenes
When users request access, the access context is assessed in real-time by our policy engine. And a decision is made to either grant access or challenge it based on risk signals. By automatically assessing each user login attempt, our adaptive authentication solutions speed access to important data for the users who need it and are authorized to access it.
What is risk-based adaptive authentication?
Risk-based adaptive authentication considers a user's risk level when authenticating them to access a resource or system. The risk score is calculated by evaluating various factors such as location from which they are authenticating, type of device they are using, whether they are logging in from an IP address for a restricted geography, etc.
How does it work?

How to Configure Risk-Based Adaptive Authentication
There are several ways to configure risk-based adaptive authentication, but here is a basic overview of the process:
Step 1: Define Conditions
Define the conditions that will trigger adaptive authentication. This can be based on factors like the user's location, the type of device they are using, or the time of day. Different weights can be applied to various factors based on the use case.
Step 2: Select MFA
Select the multi-factor authenticator that will be used to verify the user's identity. This can include something they know (like a password), something they have (like a security token), or something they are (like their fingerprint).
Step 3: Configure System
Configure the system to challenge the user with the appropriate adaptive authentication factor(s) based on the conditions that are met and the risk levels that exceed a predefined threshold.
