IBM Security is extending a feature that was previously only available to the financial sector to all industries. IBM Cloud Identity will now offer AI-based adaptive access capabilities. This will help companies assess risk levels when accessing applications and services, then escalate suspicious interactions to provide extra authentication.
“Companies are constantly trying to optimize both security and user experience, but the trick is ensuring security is not disrupting the everyday user journey,” said Jason Keenaghan, Director, IBM Security. “IBM Cloud Identity with adaptive access is using AI to give organizations a holistic view of context for user access, based on indicators like malware and risk indicators, device insights, and user behavior, to help them focus security on high risk logins and give the majority of users seamless access to their accounts and applications.”
