With offices in Singapore, the American multinational identity and access management software company ForgeRock is to launch ForgeRock Autonomous Access, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered solution that seeks to prevent identity-based cyber attacks and fraud.
ForgeRock Autonomous Access provides a service that monitors real-time login requests in an attempt to block malicious activity, adds authentication steps for anomalous behaviours and improves access for known users.
ForgeRock customers and reducing risk
Organisations around the world have shared the experience of rapid digital transformation which has become a defining feature of the past two years. However, such acceleration has in turn increased the risk and likelihood of cyberattacks. In fact, 82 per cent believe that they have experienced at least one data breach as a result of their transformation.
The company has reaffirmed its belief that AI-driven solutions, including its new ForgeRock Autonomous Access service, have the ability to protect organisations and their customers from the experience of such costly security breaches.
ForgeRock first integrated the abilities of AI technology into its platform back in 2019, which the company deployed to automate the provisioning of identities to ensure that users had the right level of access within an organisation.
With the availability of ForgeRock Autonomous Access, the company is now infusing AI into the entire identity lifecycle. Today’s introduction of the AI-driven solution is a major step forward in helping organisations prevent cyberattacks and fraud like inappropriate access, account takeover and fraud.
The new solution empowers teams to detect and prevent attacks faster and will enable them to refine customer access to make online experiences for legitimate users feel more effortless.
“We continue to invest in AI to make the authentication process safer and smoother for users,” said Peter Barker, chief product officer, ForgeRock. “What makes our approach distinct is the unique combination of AI, machine learning, and advanced pattern recognition.
“This triple-threat gives enterprises the ability to strengthen their identity perimeter, thwart bad actors, and even catch threats we didn’t know to look for, all with the click of a button.”
Power to powerful IT administrators
One of the benefits of the ForgeRock Autonomous Access service is that it eliminates the costs associated with the deployment and integration of disparate point solutions. In addition to this, it enables IT admins to create various personalised user access journeys with a no-code interface.
This availability of variation makes it possible for IT admins to design tailored experiences for every login attempt based on the level of risk.
For example, a known user with a low-risk score can sail through with options like passwordless authentication, while a known user exhibiting anomalous behaviour, such as an unusual location or device, can be given added authentication steps. Login attempts that exhibit high-risk scores can be blocked or sent on different journeys for further analysis and remediation.
ForgeRock Autonomous Access is delivered through the ForgeRock Identity Cloud and will be available later this month.
