Strengthen Your Zero Trust and CARTA Security Landscape
Improve the security posture of your business by designing purpose-built user journeys. With ForgeRock Intelligent Authentication, you can establish your required level of trust by interconnecting digital signals, factors, and third-party integrations for risk, fraud, and malware. The solution enables you to secure the login experience, audit all login events, and minimize risks of bots, distributed-denial-of service (DDoS) attacks and data breaches.
Intelligent Authentication secures your users and your business by:
- Pre-identifying a user’s digital signals, such as location, IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, and more — before a username is even collected.
- Intelligently adjusting login journeys to identify legitimate and suspicious users.
- Uncovering threats by isolating and monitoring malicious activity using honeypots.
- Reduce phishing, replay attacks, and password theft with usernameless and passwordless authentication

Leverage Device Context for Personalization
Deliver Dynamic Personalization
Irrelevant content can frustrate consumers. Intelligent Access helps you deliver dynamic, relevant content by using identity and non-identity context to drive personalization. You can leverage digital signals — like user device, location, and time — in real time to build dynamic, personalized content. This informs downstream applications, and, ultimately, helps you develop offers aligned with customer expectations.

Build and Deploy with Ease
Visually map login journeys before implementing them with an interface that supports agility and rapid integration. Intelligent Access provides drag-and-drop capabilities so you can easily design and adjust journeys that satisfy user populations across your digital channels.

Harness Analytics to Optimize Customer Journeys
Data-driven insights help you to continuously improve and secure the user journey. User Login Analytics, built into Intelligent Access, offer metrics and timers that measure user interactions as well as their devices, such as the time it takes to authenticate and call out to third-party systems across services and applications.
With User Login Analytics you can:
-
Evaluate whether logins result in increased abandoned shopping carts.
-
Assess average time for call-outs to fraud systems.
-
Monitor performance of Service Level Agreements that impact login journeys.
-
Determine if shorter login journeys result in fewer help desk calls.

Facilitate Continuous Real-Time Authorization
Many solutions only protect at initial authentication. The ForgeRock Identity Platform enables organizations to compare context captured during authentication and authorization attempts on a continuous basis.
Contextual authorization moves away from rigid “allow/deny” rules and adapts to offer robust “allow but redact” policies that are implemented through Intelligent Access. It can take into account digital signals such as context (IP address, operating system, browser, device, time of day), behavior (“Does the user log in at a particular hour” or “Is the location familiar?”), and risk-based factors (“Is the user accessing sensitive data?”). If an environmental or contextual attribute changes (such as the user’s IP address), you can request re-authentication or a stronger credential.
This approach ensures the authenticity of people, things, and services at all times and mitigates risk whenever an anomaly is detected.
