What is Adaptive Authentication?
Adaptive authentication is also a type of Multi-Factor authentication that is configured and deployed more smartly within an identity service provider system. The smart system analysis the user’s risk profile along with behavior and automatically adds multiple layers of authentication if something suspicious is detected. Certain factors including the user’s geographical location, registered devices, number of attempts, and more are considered before authenticating a user. Depending on the overall risk, the user may be required to provide additional details apart from multi-factor authentication to prove their identity.
