Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enhancing Security

Empowering 25K+ Customers Globally

Adaptive MFA for Smarter, Safer Logins



Adaptive MFA or Risk-Based Authentication (RBA) is a smart security feature that adjusts the authentication process based on the risk level of each login attempt. This risk-based approach balances security with user convenience, so only legitimate users gain access while stopping potential threats.

For low-risk scenarios, users enjoy easy access with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) without any extra steps. When risk is medium or high, the system prompts users to complete additional verification using one of 15+ authentication methods. If the risk is too high, access is blocked to prevent unauthorized entry.

Adaptive Authentication Features

Threat Resilience

Adaptive MFA builds threat resilience in organizations by blocking modern cyber attacks like phishing, ransomware, etc. It detects insider threats by flagging unusual behavior. Furthermore, it prevents unauthorized access through dynamic responses to risk factors.

Real-time Protection

Eliminates the need for frequent authentication through a fixed approach. For the calculation of the threats and decisions, the session attributes of the user are fetched during runtime.

Regulatory Requirements

Many industries are subject to regulations of local governments and international regulatory bodies, which mandate robust security measures. Adaptive MFA helps organizations meet compliance standards without causing disruptions to daily operations.

Group and Role-based Assignment

Users can be grouped together and given access to specific applications according to their roles based on different access policies.

Set granular access security policies

Admin can track all the user activities, manage access, and add security policies for users on a granular level.

Platform Independent

Our Adaptive MFA product is platform-independent and can be easily deployed to any device supporting a web browser, irrespective of the type of device.

How Does Adaptive MFA Work?

Adaptive multi-factor authentication adjusts the level of authentication needed based on the risk level of the user's activity. High-risk attempts require additional verification, such as biometrics or OTPs, medium-risk activities trigger moderate checks, and low-risk scenarios grant seamless access. The steps are explained below:

Step 1:  User Attempt to Access

The user attempts to log in or perform an action (e.g., logging in, making a transaction) on a system or application.

Step 2:  Risk Analysis

The system performs a risk-based authentication assessment by analyzing various factors such as

  • User behavior patterns (e.g., login time, frequency)
  • Device characteristics (e.g., is the device recognized?)
  • Network information (e.g., IP address, location)
  • Type of action being performed (e.g., fund transfer)

Step 3:  Determine Authentication Requirements

  • High Risk: If the activity is deemed high-risk, the system may require multiple additional MFA factors or block access.
  • Medium Risk: For medium-risk scenarios the system may prompt the user for extra credentials.
  • Low Risk: If the activity is low-risk, the user is granted access without additional authentication steps.

Step 4:  Trusted Device Approval Flow

The process verifies and approves new or unrecognized devices so that only trusted devices can log into a network or system.

Step 5:  User Verification

The user provides the required authentication factors as requested by the system.

Step 6:  Access Granted/Denied

If the user successfully completes the required authentication steps, they are granted access.

Adaptive Authentication Factors

IP Restriction
Location Restriction
Device Restriction
Time Restriction

IP Restriction

When using IP Restriction as risk-based authentication, IP addresses are configured and enlisted by the admin, and access is either allowed or denied accordingly. When a user attempts to log into one of the risk-based authentication-enabled apps, his IP address is checked against the preset IP list, and appropriate action is taken (i.e., Allow, Deny, or Challenge).

Location Restriction

In Location-based Risk-Based Authentication restriction, the admin shortlists and configures a list of Geo-locations. Based on the location restrictions set by the admin, end-users are either allowed or denied the login. When a user tries to log in with Risk-Based Authentication enabled, his location attributes are verified against the location list configured by the admin, and based on this, the user will be either allowed, challenged, or denied access to resources.

Device Restriction

Using Device-based Risk-Based Authentication, the admin allows end-users to add a set number of trusted devices (A device refers to a Browser Session). A registered device allows a person to log in without restriction once it has been registered. An administrator will challenge or deny a person's registration if their registered device exceeds their total limit.

Time Restriction

Risk-Based Authentication also includes a time restriction, which starts with an admin setting up a time zone with a Start and End Time. Users are permitted, refused, or challenged based on the defined timezone and policies. As soon as an end-user attempts to log in with risk-based authentication enabled, his time zone parameters, such as time zone and system time, are compared to the list defined by the admin, and the user is either granted access, rejected access, or challenged access, depending on his configuration.



Benefits of Adaptive MFA

Strong Security

Strong Security

Adaptive MFA strengthens security by dynamically analyzing risk signals (location, device, time, user behavior, etc.) and triggering additional authentication steps only when suspicious activity is detected.

Operate with Zero Trust Principles

Zero Trust Principles

Dynamically adjusts security checks based on contextual aspects such as location, device, or IP address, and authenticates every access request, not just at login, but throughout the user’s session.

Hybrid Work Protection

Hybrid Work Protection

Home and public networks often lack enterprise-grade protections, making remote users a prime target for threats. So, dynamic work cultures make it essential to verify every access attempt to protect resources.

Explore Diverse Use Cases


Complete Google Workspace Security

Google Workspace Security to protect Gmail, Drive, and other Workspace apps by prompting Adaptive MFA only when risk signals appear. For example, if there is a login attempt from an unknown laptop in another country, the system will allow instant access for trusted users.

Make VPN Remote Access Safe

Add Adaptive MFA to the VPN network for secure remote access with 15+ authentication methods. For example, if a user attempts VPN access from a new location at odd hours, MFA challenges kick in while regular logins stay friction‑free.

Secure Any SaaS Apps

Prevent cyberattacks on apps like Salesforce, Slack, or Dropbox with SSO and MFA solutions. For example, if login behavior deviates from the norm (e.g., sudden access from multiple devices), Adaptive MFA requests extra verification across all connected apps.



Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


What is the difference between MFA and Adaptive MFA?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires users to verify their identity through multiple methods, like passwords, OTPs, or biometrics, for every login. Adaptive MFA, however, adjusts the authentication requirements dynamically based on the assessed risk of each login attempt.

What is an authentication service?

An authentication service is a system or software that verifies the identity of users trying to access a network, application, or resource.

Can adaptive MFA block phishing and ransomware?

Yes, adaptive MFA blocks threats by detecting unusual behaviors and high-risk indicators associated with phishing and ransomware attacks.

How does nested adaptive MFA reduce user friction?

Nested adaptive MFA reduces friction by layering authentication steps based on risk levels.

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

MFA is a security method that requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to apps or resources.
