Even though systems that bring together all partners of institutions, organizations and companies are facilitating in terms of operation, they bring with them many risks. The most critical question is whether each user who will log in to the system or application in question is really a stakeholder of the organization or company. Especially in organizations where remote working and hybrid working models are adopted, the security of system logins should be taken under control more than ever. AuthTake Risk-Based Authentication is an eliminative force to take control and notify you of insecure access requests. It helps protect you from cyberattack threats and maximizes your system security. While authentication for trusted logins is kept simple, requesting extra information from users for risky login requests makes your time management easier and saves your IT teams from unnecessary workload.
What is Risk-Based Authentication (RBA)?
Risk-Based Authentication is one of the AuthTake identity and access management solutions. As the number of users who want to access the systems increases and it becomes more difficult to control fixed user logins with remote working, the need for a facilitating method has emerged. In the Risk-Based Authentication method that meets this need, the trustworthiness of users trying to log in to the system is checked on the basis of various contexts and insecure logins are detected. This is where Risk-Based Authentication observes suspicious users’ personal information such as location and IP address. The observation of movements that differ from the trackable and controllable movements of a normal user makes these entries suspicious. Multi factor authentication methods are used to determine the real identity of the person. Biometric datas, QR codes or one-time passwords are interrogated with AuthTake FIDO infrastructure. Entry is allowed if the requested data is provided correctly. In cases where authentication fails, the user is prevented from entering the system. Depending on your preference, you can provide a filtered control by choosing to be notified of threatening login attempts and their details. While attempts by malicious attackers have failed, preventing similar risks is important for your cybersecurity.
Why is Risk-Based Authentication (RBA) Important?
Many organizations that adopt the Zero Trust strategy with the remote working model appeal to different ways and methods to prevent each threat and attack against their systems. AuthTake Risk-Based Authentication analyzes each user’s behavior and generates a risk score for each access request to identify Real-Time Threat Signals. Identifying users with high risk scores leads to additional credentials being requested, increasing the reliability of the process and achieving the goal of the Zero Trust strategy. Risk-Based Authentication, which exempts trusted users from these processes, also helps to reduce the congestion caused by unnecessary transactions.
Advantages of Risk-Based Authentication
Securing the systems in your organization is very important to reduce the risks of cyberattacks. Since Risk-Based Authentication will prevent strangers whose movements cannot be detected from accessing your systems or applications, you will be protected from cyberattacks and both your data and corporate information will remain safe. Another advantage of this method is that it reduces the workload of IT teams and that threats that cannot be detected by those responsible for system security are detected and taken under control. At the same time, recording non-risk entries is important to facilitate smooth entries. Both employees and other stakeholders who are part of the system can log in easily without going through a detailed authentication process each time. In this way, the eliminative power of Risk-Based Authentication can be adopted as a fair way to manage time. This method, which undertakes an important task to distinguish between trusted and threatening user profiles and to block access requests that pose a risk, is a user-friendly option that AuthTake has incorporated to ensure your cyber security.
