\"\"<\/a>Cambridge-Ma based analyst house Forrester Research has released the latest iteration<\/a> of its flagship Wave report for Risk Based Authentication (RBA).<\/p>\n

Risk Based Authentication, also commonly known as adaptive authentication, is a method of authentication control that adapts the rigorousness of its processes to the risk associated with each particular access attempt. To do this, an RBA solution determines a risk profile, based on variables such as location, time, IP address, device, and\u00a0if the risk score is high, the RBA solution or another access control system\u00a0can prompt the user to use two-factor authentication (2FA) for risky login attempts. To borrow an example from Forrester, if a user signs on in Cape Town, South Africa, within 10 minutes of the same user\u2019s login in Boston, the RBA solution would detect that anomaly, and alert the user, as well as taking extra steps to thwart the unusual login.<\/p>\n

In his 32-criteria evaluation of RBA vendors, Forrester researcher\u00a0Andras Cser<\/a>\u00a0identified the eight solutions providers whom Forrester considers most significant in the category \u2014 CA Technologies, Easy Solutions, IBM, Kount, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, RSA, SecureAuth, and ThreatMetrix\u2014 then researched, analyzed, and scored them.<\/p>\n

The Wave report details their findings and examines how each vendor meets (or falls short of) Forrester\u2019s evaluation criteria and where vendors stand in relation to each other.The Report also outlines the current state of the market and separates the top providers into Leaders, Strong performers, and Contenders.<\/span><\/p>\n
