AI for Risk-Based Authentication and Identity Graphs

Risk-based authentication adapts friction based on context. AI builds identity graphs from devices, locations, behaviors, and relationships to detect account takeover and synthetic identities.

Step-up methods—biometrics, passkeys, OTP—trigger only when needed. Gr

Explainable risk scores and user controls maintain transparency. With privacy safeguards, authentication becomes both secure and smooth.

Signals and Identity Graphs

Devices, locations, behaviors, and relationships form graphs that expose takeover attempts and synthetic identities.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of using risk-based authentication?

Risk-based authentication dynamically adjusts security measures based on contextual factors, minimizing friction for legitimate users while proactively addressing potential threats.

How do biometrics, passkeys and OTPs contribute to a secure system?

Biometric authentication (like fingerprint scanning), passkeys (digital keys), and one-time passwords (OTPs) are layered security measures that trigger only when the risk level warrants it.

What is an identity graph and why is it important?

An identity graph represents a user’s connections across various platforms and devices, allowing for the detection of synthetic identities and account takeover attempts.
