IBM Named a Leader in ‘The Forrester Wave™: Risk-Based Authentication, Q2 2020’

In today’s hybrid multicloud environment, users expect to be able to access their work and personal resources from wherever they are, whenever they need them. With this expanded security perimeter, and especially considering this year’s tectonic shift in remote work, organizations need to be prepared with a distributed security strategy that incorporates principles like zero trust. Only the right users under the right conditions can have access to the right data, requiring deep contextual analysis of dynamic conditions to perform continuous, risk-based authentication (RBA).


In Forrester’s new report, ‘The Forrester Wave: Risk-Based Authentication, Q2 2020,’ the independent research firm mentions that security and risk professionals “increasingly want risk-based authentication solutions to provide out-of-the-box risk scoring capabilities not only for authentication but also for registration, navigation, payments, and other nonfinancial transactions.” This validates the need for the worlds of fraud protection and access management to come together in order to simultaneously maximize both security and user experience for any user and any authentication event. A leading RBA vendor should leverage that technology intersection for comprehensive adaptive access, couple that access with robust authentication options including passwordless and ensure it is all easily consumable for any application.
