Risk-based Authentication

Risk-based authentication (RBA) is a security method that assesses the risk of a login attempt based on various factors. Instead of applying the same security measures to every user, RBA analyzes elements like location, device used, and behavior patterns. For instance, if you usually log in from your home but suddenly try from a different country, RBA may require extra verification, like a text message code, to ensure it's really you. This targeted approach balances convenience and security, reducing potential threats while minimizing unnecessary hurdles for regular users.
