Download


Abstract

This IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager feature provides access decision and enforcement based on a dynamic risk assessment or confidence level of a transaction.

Download Description

Please note that this feature is available in IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager 6.2.2 fixpacks since fixpack 4: 6.2.2-TIV-TFIM-FP0004.

The Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Risk-based access feature provides access decision and enforcement that is based on a dynamic risk assessment or confidence level of a transaction. Risk-based access uses behavioral and contextual data analytics to calculate risk.

Risk-based access:

  • Improves security during authentication and authorization of business transactions.
  • Assesses risk based on static, contextual, and analytically calculated attributes.
  • Calculates a risk score based on multiple weighted attributes.
  • Provides policy rules that determine whether an access request must bepermitted, denied, or challenged.

You can configure risk-based access to:
  • Silently register or require users to register devices that they commonly use.
  • Associate the registered devices with user credentials.
  • Present a challenge or request additional authentication, if the user attempts to authenticate with the same credentials from another unregistered device.
  • Use the behavioral patterns of the user as a factor in risk score calculation. For example, a user might attempt to access a protected resource at a time outside of normal business hours. You can configure the risk-based access policy to deny access or force the user access to authenticate with a secondary challenge.
