What is Adaptive Authentication?

Adaptive Authentication is an advanced security method that dynamically adjusts the authentication requirements based on various factors and risk assessments. It works by continuously evaluating user behavior, context, and risk levels to determine the appropriate level of security for each authentication attempt.

The key advantage of Adaptive Authentication is its ability to provide a balance between security and user convenience. It allows organizations to strengthen security when needed, such as during unusual login behavior or high-risk scenarios, while minimizing friction for users during routine access. This adaptability helps protect against various threats, including account takeover attacks and unauthorized access, while ensuring a smooth user experience for legitimate users.

How Adaptive Authentication Work?

  1. User Authentication: Users provide initial credentials (e.g., username and password) to log in.

  2. Risk Assessment: The system analyzes factors like location, device, IP, and behavior to calculate a risk score.

  3. Policy Evaluation: Predefined security policies determine required authentication levels.

  4. Adaptive Response: Security adapts to risk; low risk may grant access, while high risk triggers more authentication steps.

  5. Authentication Outcome: Users gain or are denied access based on risk, with notifications as needed.

Adaptive Authentication Methods

In Adaptive Authentication's IP-based restriction method, administrators set up and maintain a list of approved or blocked IP addresses. When a user tries to log in to an adaptive authentication-enabled application, their IP address is checked against the predefined list. Depending on the match, the system takes one of three actions: Allow access, Deny access, or Challenge for further authentication.

In Location-based Adaptive Authentication restriction, administrators create and customize a list of specific geographical locations where they intend to either permit or deny end-user access. When a user attempts to log in with adaptive authentication enabled, the system cross-references the user's location attributes, including latitude, longitude, and country code, with the admin-configured Location list.  Depending on the match, the user is either allowed access, challenged for further authentication, or denied access. Further, to support hybrid work model, Rainbow Secure allows users to specify their locations for work, travel and home to reduce false positives and have realistic geolocation security.

Device signature of the request is compared against allowed or historical devices for given user. If match is found, access is approved.

Access can be restricted to a given time range like working hours. Also, access can be restricted when an employee goes on vacation or traveling.

Why Organizations Need Adaptive MFA?

According to Ponemon Institute statistics, a staggering 77% of companies lack adequate preparedness in defending against cyberattacks and data breaches. Such breaches can result in immense financial losses, potentially crippling any organization’s growth.

Therefore, it is imperative to adopt robust security measures like Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to proactively ward off cyber threats while enabling your workforce to focus on productivity and peace of mind. Here are some compelling reasons why modern organizations should embrace Adaptive Authentication:

Dynamic Security Threats and Risk

Organizations face ever-changing security threats, and in response to these dynamic challenges, an adaptable solution like Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is indispensable. It identifies unusual patterns and high-risk indicators, activating MFA challenges to enhance security against evolving cyber threats.

Compliance

Numerous industries are beholden to regulations set by local governments and international regulatory bodies, which necessitate stringent security measures. Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) aids organizations in achieving compliance standards while ensuring minimal disruption to their daily operations.              

Threat Resilience

Real-time monitoring of user activities and contextual details can potentially prevent up to 90% of cyberattacks within organizations. Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) facilitates this real-time monitoring, allowing swift responses to emerging threats and potential security breaches. By proactively detecting suspicious activities, organizations can effectively protect their sensitive information and operations.

Real-time Protection

Monitoring user activities and contextual details in real-time has the potential to thwart up to 90% of cyberattacks within organizations. Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) empowers real-time monitoring, enabling quick responses to emerging threats and potential security breaches. Through proactive identification of suspicious activities, organizations can robustly protect their sensitive information and operational integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between MFA and Adaptive MFA?

    Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that demands two or more verification factors, like a username, password, and an added security measure, for accessing a resource.

    In contrast, Adaptive MFA enhances MFA security by considering risk and controlled user access, as determined by security administrators. It identifies potentially fraudulent attempts using predefined risk criteria and prompts users to undergo an extra authentication step to verify their identities.
