RSA Adaptive Authentication

Prevent fraudulent access of your systems

RSA® Adaptive Authentication is a comprehensive authentication and fraud detection platform that monitors and authenticates customer activity based on risk levels, institutional policies, and customer segmentation

Adaptive Authentication is currently deployed at over 8,000 organizations worldwide, protects more than 150 million online users and has processed over 20 billion transactions to date.

Adaptive Authentication is powered by risk-based authentication, an intelligent system that authenticates all users behind-the-scenes by measuring a series of risk indicators. This transparent authentication provides for a superior user experience as customers are only challenged in the highest risk scenarios.
