Contextual authentication

Adding contextual variables for ultimate security

Understand the context (IP address, time, location…) of the user. Take that context into account before granting them access to resources or applications. Adapt the security policy that you apply to the context and the sensitivity of the data users want to access. Use the appropriate authentication method based on that context to reach the appropriate level of security without compromising customer experience. Allow passwordless authentication, Federated Identification and Single Sign-on to give users a basic level of access and apply adaptive authentication, but only when necessary.

Multi-persona authentication

Decrease administration, increase user experience

Allow users to specify the capacities they play or mandates they have and allow them to use those different personas with different rights and privileges. Let them use one profile for these different personas and apply Single Sign-on to switch from one persona to another. Use refined policies to exactly define what level of authorization is needed, based on the context and on the sensitivity of applications. Avoid role explosion and simplify life for the administrators. Increase security by eliminating role abuse.

Policy-based access control (PBAC)

Make informed decisions on who gets access

Use fine-grained access policies based on the user attributes and personas provided by the platform to grant access only to the right people. Use TrustBuilder’s policy-based access control engine to define the attributes of your choice, and tailor these to your specific context. Combine implementation and enforcement of policies with as many attributes as you want to use for ultimate security. Base policy enforcement on unknown parameters, objects and operations. Create your own attributes for fine-grained security and an outstanding customer experience.

Passwordless

Eliminate password stress and password theft

Offer convenient and secure authentication while relieving password stress. Single Sign-on unburdens both the user and the IT helpdesk. Eliminate the use of passwords to prevent theft or loss of credentials. Strengthen your security by adding multi-factor authentication and allowing the user to bring their own authentication. TrustBuilder combines web and mobile security in one solution.
