Adaptive Authentication rules can be assigned to any SSO application to force users to undergo further identity proofing before they can access that application under certain circumstances. EmpowerID provides two Adaptive Authentication rules that can be assigned to applications out of the box, the CheckLoginSpeed and the CheckUserDemographics rule.
CheckLoginSpeed - This rule checks the current time and location of the person attempting to access the application against the time and location of their last login to determine whether that person could reasonably do so under normal circumstances. For example, if the person logged in at 9:00AM from their office in Boston and then attempted to log in 45 minutes later from Seattle, this rule would consider the second log in attempt questionable as it would be impossible for the user to travel from Boston to Seattle in 45 minutes. The rule would then force the user to undergo further identity proofing.
CheckUserDemographics - This rule checks for missing person attributes, such as the user address or job title. If these attributes are missing, EmpowerID prompts the user to enter the missing information before proceeding to the application.
Info
If your organization needs more rules, you can create them in Workflow Studio and publish them to your environment. Once published, you can add them to to your
SSO applications
Password Manager policies as shown in this article.
