Guide to risk-based authentication

This episode of Techsplainers explores risk-based authentication (RBA), a security approach that adjusts authentication requirements based on the risk level of a login or access request. Building on the week’s discussion of the principle of least privilege, just-in-time access and continuous authentication, the episode explains how organizations use RBA to decide how much proof of identity to require before granting access in the first place. The discussion breaks down how RBA works, the importance of logging, and how RBA works with continuous authentication and adaptive authentication in a layered trust model.
