This is where the concept of &#8220;authentication journeys&#8221; comes in. Authentication journeys combine both authentication (authn) and authorization (authz) into processes defined at the user experience (UX) level, rather than through low-level auth protocols like OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Authentication journeys help organizations move beyond the limitations and complexities of existing AD and LDAP-based approaches\u00a0while providing the user with a better and more secure experience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Think of authentication journeys as workflows made up of multiple authentication steps and authorization processes available within the enterprise. Such measures include multi-factor authentication (MFA), biometrics, geolocation, PIN, credential checks, and even traditional methods (e.g., username &amp; password). &#8220;Step-ups&#8221; or series of challenges are served to those users whose requests fall outside their routines or the enterprise&#8217;s norms.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most IAM systems are never entirely replaced, but rather, are augmented with newer identity assurance technologies and processes. In this way, user assurances become more immediately reliable without introducing friction that might delay or discourage an authentic user.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Migration to Authentication Journeys: Processes and Paybacks<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As enterprises adopt authentication journeys, they essentially define complete\u00a0lifecycle processes that include onboarding, offboarding and internal steps like <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/how-to-recognize-and-prevent-active-directory-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Active Directory<\/a> conditional access checks. IT departments can start by defining minimal journeys for all users and specific roles and then let users choose their own devices and options for MFA via a self-service portal, which allows convenience for users, and a higher adoption rate.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Frictionless and trusted user and customer identities can have immediate line-of-business benefits that directly drive or support an organization&#8217;s most strategic goals. Prominent industry analysts are examining how usability affects revenues and the ROI of CX transformation issues. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The migration also benefits the organization in other, more subtle ways, such as: <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keeping up with global compliance &amp; auditing regulations<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">KYC\/AML (Know Your Customer \/ Anti Money Laundering) laws vary globally and continue to evolve. Because authentication journeys can be dynamic, they help enable and demonstrate continuous compliance. For example, onboarding processes can be assessed at various identity assurance levels (IALs), and resulting credentials can be tied to authentication processes to directly link both the IALs and authenticator assurance levels (AALs). With logging as part of the journey (as an internal step), end-to-end auditing can connect both onboarding and authentication processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Reducing costs &amp; complexity<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Powerful, effective, yet burdensome authentication (authn) and authorization (authz) technologies are already available in the market, but most are complex to manage from a system-level perspective. The security context is lost when dealing with sessions, roles, tokens, and other protocol-specific mechanisms at a low level of process programming. By managing journeys as high-level definitions of authn and authz processes, CISOs can elevate the management of risks related to unintended access to associated resources above the machine-level programming of OIDC and JSON Web Tokens (JWT tokens) used to implement such processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Improved vulnerability management<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Detailed auditing, vulnerability analysis, threat modeling, and accessibility enablement improves security and reduces help desk password-reset costs.
