Risk Based Authentication
Risk-Based Authentication (RBA) determines real-time threat signals by analyzing the behavior of a user who wants to access a resource or system, and generates a risk score for each access request. If the access request is deemed risky, it can request additional identity information or deny the access request.

Today's Problem
When a system access request is made, the basic authentication information requested from the user in traditional methods consists of a username and password. However, rapidly increasing cyber attacks have resulted in user identity information being easily compromised. Research also shows that 81% of data breaches occur due to weak or stolen identity information.
Why Risk Based Authentication?
Organizations need to balance security and ease of use to avoid inefficiency or customer loss. In this regard, Risk-Based User Authentication mechanism, which is based on the Zero Trust strategy, has emerged as a solution to these problems. By taking into account various risk factors in real-time during the access request, it determines the risk level and requests additional identity information only in medium and high-risk access requests while protecting the user from frictions in low-risk level access requests.
Intelligent Risk-Based Authentication: A Smarter Security Approach
The widespread adoption of hybrid work and the consequent rise of phishing attacks are forcing organizations to adopt a Zero Trust strategy. Risk-Based Authentication eliminates unnecessary friction by distinguishing between attacker and trusted users for users.
RBA analyzes user behavior to determine the risk associated with a given access request and uses that analysis to decide whether to allow or deny access or to request additional authentication factors. This helps organizations to protect against cyber threats while minimizing the inconvenience for authorized users.
