An Overview of the Leadership Compass: Adaptive Authentication and Cloud-Based Multi-Factor Authentication

Posted on Nov 09, 2018 by John Tolbert

KuppingerCole has published two related Leadership Compasses on Adaptive Authentication and Cloud-based Multi-Factor Authentication solutions. We define adaptive authentication (AA) as the on-premises deployments, whereas Cloud-based MFA is SaaS-delivered. For both AA and Cloud MFA, many organizations need to gather additional attributes about users and their environments and evaluate the attributes in the context of risk-based policies. The goal of AA & Cloud MFA is to provide the appropriate risk-mitigating assurance levels for access to sensitive resources by requiring users to further demonstrate that they are who they say they are. This is usually implemented by “step-up” authentication or transactional authorization. Examples of step-up authenticators include phone/email/SMS One Time Passwords (OTPs), mobile apps for push notifications, mobile apps with native biometrics, FIDO U2F/UAF/2.0, SmartCards, and behavioral biometrics.

In this webinar, John Tolbert, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole, delves into these features in more detail, as they pertain to both on-premises and SaaS deployments. He also describes our Leadership Compass methodology, the criteria used for analyzing products and services in these fields, and shows selected results from the Leadership Compass reports.

Taking the Risk Out of Key Digital Business Enablers: APIs

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are among the foundations of modern digital business. APIs are found everywhere due to a rapid growth in demand to expose and consume APIs to enable new business models and connect with partners and customers, but APIs are also a security risk that businesses can’t afford to ignore.

Erfolgreiche IAM-Projekte: Von Best Practices Lernen

Häufig beginnt die Suche nach einer Identity-Lösung mit einem ganz konkreten Schmerzpunkt im Unternehmen. Ein nicht bestandener Compliance-Audit wegen überhöhter Zugriffsberechtigungen, technische Probleme, wegen komplexer Systeme frustrierte User und eine Überforderung des Helpdesk mit Berechtigungsanforderungen und Passwort-Resets sind nur einige der vielen möglichen Ursachen. Selbst nach einer erteilten Budgetfreigabe für die Anpassung der IAM-Landschaft sind die Hürden vielfältig.

Passwords: Dead, but Not Gone

Organizations are looking to eliminate passwords because they are costly and difficult to manage, they result in poor user experiences, and they are easily compromised, enabling 81% of breaches. But despite these efforts, many passwords remain unsecured. These passwords can still be compromised, and must be managed to mitigate the risk.

Better Business With Smooth and Secure Onboarding Processes

In the modern world of working, organizations need to digitally verify and secure identities at scale. But traditional IAM and CIAM strategies can’t identity-proof people in a meaningful way in the digital era. Finding an automated digital identity proofing system that is passwordless and provides strong authentication, is essential.
