Automatically strengthen security while streamlining user experience
Traditional authentication methods are inadequate against the rising cyber threat landscape. Automated and increasingly sophisticated attacks mimic human behavior to outsmart standard bot-detection tools. Risk-based authentication (RBA) systems are finely tuned to detect fraudulent behavior, dynamically evaluating and responding to the risk level of each login attempt. Strengthen your defenses by integrating a series of authentication techniques and behavioral biometrics and introduce the appropriate level of assurance in every authentication journey.

HOW THALES CAN HELP
What is Risk-based Authentication?
Risk-based authentication (RBA) is an intelligent identification approach that evaluates various factors, such as user behavior, device characteristics, and environmental context, to determine the risk level of a login attempt. It automatically undertakes a risk assessment of a customer and determines threat risk based on those characteristics – including a user’s IP address, physical location, browser history, etc. This proactive authentication method allows organizations to adapt their security measures based on the perceived risk.
How does Risk-based authentication work?
By integrating our risk-based authentication solution into your authentication journey, the risk level of each customer transaction is analyzed. Recommendations for the most suitable authentication method are then automatically provided, reducing account takeover (ATO) fraud. With risk-based authentication, continuously adaptive policies based on customer segmentation, preferences, and use cases can be defined. These RBA authentication capabilities operate quietly in the background to ensure the best end-user experience.
