Glossary Term
Risk-based Authentication
Risk-based Authentication describes any form of authentication that attempts to measure the risk of false identity provision and that then uses this measurement to adjust its behavior or decisions.
Plurilock's authentication products are intrinsically risk based, relying on gathered behavioral-biometric, environment, and context data to calculte a risk score, which is then used as a threshold for rejection or for step-up authentication requirements.
