Adaptive authentication is a way to verify user identity and determine authorization levels based on factors such as location, device status, and end-user behavior. Using these contextual factors that help identify suspicious login attempts, adaptive authentication intelligently chooses if additional verification steps are needed before a user is granted access. In this way, you can strengthen security by ensuring only authorized users access systems and services while delivering a smooth login experience.
The Curity Identity Server has enhanced geolocation authentication features that enable adaptive authentication using geographical data. More adaptive login methods can be used by leveraging the geographical data provided by the Geolocation component. Using this data, measures can be taken based on the fact that a user is potentially logging in from a country where they have never attempted to log in before, a different country since the last login, a forbidden country, or has made an impossible journey between two sequential login events.
