SecureAuth Debuts Threat Service

PRESS RELEASE — IRVINE, Calif. – June 9, 2016 – SecureAuth Corporation, the leader in adaptive access control, today announced the release of SecureAuth Threat Service. The new service continuously provides a real-time watchtower and shield on the risks targeting customer resources from across the globe. Leveraging threat information from a network of 11 million advanced threat sensors, the service determines whether an IP address is associated with known bad actors or anonymity infrastructure.

SecureAuth Threat Service customers can detect and protect against attacks while ensuring authorized users maintain access. Beyond simply providing that the IP Address is “bad”, SecureAuth Threat Service provides context around the IP Address such as the attack type and classification of the threat actor(s) and infrastructure involved – helping security staff better understand attack vectors and prevent access.{ad}

SecureAuth Threat Service:

“While many companies may have some form of threat service in use today, these services are often times not linked to whether or not somebody with valid credentials coming from a known suspicious origin are allowed to access critical organizational resources,” said Stephen Cox, chief security architect at SecureAuth. “Recognizing the value behind actionable, contextual data as a critical risk factor in an adaptive access solution, SecureAuth Threat Service uses threat information to cover a wide spectrum of attacks, irrespective of their motivation. As a result, organizations can thwart in-process attacks and prevent them from becoming the next headline.”

During authentication, SecureAuth IdP combines Threat Service information with other risk factors, including organization-provided IP whitelists and blacklists, device recognition data, behavioral biometrics, geo-location, group membership and other attributes. Depending on the risk, SecureAuth can require a multi-factor authentication method to verify identity, can deny the request outright, or simply pass the user on to their destination. Customers can use this authentication-specific information to reduce incident response and remediation times.
