Once users have access to a portal or applications, it is important to identify that the same users are returning in order to maintain security of the system and guard against account take-over, data loss and theft. Multifactor authentication is a simple yet secure way of knowing who is using your applications and ensuring that they are exactly who you expect them to be.
Our strong, multi-factor authentication product offers a range of layered, secure authentication methods in a single integrated platform. It delivers secure one-time passcodes via multiple vectors:
SMS (text messages)
Mobile app
Voice message (IVR)
Hard token
Out-of-band delivery of quickly expiring, one-time passcodes confirms that the person possessing the passcode is the one attempting to access your systems. Multiple authentication vectors ensure high-level security with user-required flexibility and usability.
If a biometric method is required or desired, two-factor authentication can also be done through voice biometrics – a secure, software-based method that doesn't require special hardware or detailed training.
Progressive authentication is our term for the best practice we pioneered—using an integrated set of tools and processes for situation-based authentication of known users seeking access to secure networks, data, and applications.
Based on your policy decisions, our solution will trigger authentication challenges at login or when suspicious transactions, unknown or risky devices, or out-of-norm behavior is recognized. These security authentication parameters can be customized in real-time for users both inside and outside your organization, progressively presenting authentication challenges based upon the latest threat assessment.
RSA Adaptive Authentication is a risk-based two-factor authentication solution providing cost-effective protection for an entire user base. Adaptive Authentication secures online portals, SSL VPNs, and web access management portals for different types of organizations in the healthcare, insurance, enterprise, government, financial services, and other industries. Based on the transparent two-factor authentication technology, Adaptive Authentication works behind the scenes to authenticate end users and transactions based on individual end user and device profiles. In addition, Adaptive Authentication uses the RSA Risk Engine to estimate the level of risk for the specific activity and uses information collected from the RSAeFraudNetwork (a cross-organization, cross-application, cross-border online fraud network) to identify fraudulent activities. The Policy Manager determines what actions must be performed, depending on the risk score and other parameters.
