Secure Digital Authentication:
Contextual vs Adaptive
Networking Dinner at The Cavalier, San Francisco

Here’s what we discussed:

Are you concerned with how best to offer safe, yet seamless digital authentication for your customers? At this engaging round table dinner, we evaluate two different approaches for secure authentication in the digital world.

We explored:

• Contextual authentication: Considers multiple factors, such as user data, device information, location, biometrics, and behavior patterns to add layers and context into the authentication process.
• Adaptive authentication: Adjusts the level of security based on risk factors and user behavior. It allows businesses to adapt authentication requirements-based risk signals to either step-up or bypass additional authentication steps, providing users with a smoother and more convenient experience.
• How to choose the best approach: Factors to consider when selecting an authentication method include risk mitigation, user experience, and regulatory compliance.
