Adaptive authentication

The main feature of nevisAdapt is to provide adaptive authentication. Adaptive authentication means that different kinds of security measures are applied to authenticate a user, based on the user’s situation and context when attempting to log in.

As adaptive authentication mainly affects the login flow, we recommend integrating the nevisAdapt service directly into nevisAuth, by using the nevisAdapt Authentication connector. In this case, nevisAdapt has its own authentication step, which calls the nevisAdapt service. Depending on the aggregated risk score, this leads to different scenarios, such as sending a notification email. For further information, see the chapter NevisAdaptAuthState.

In the current version, only the low risk scenario is available. This means that nevisAdapt only sends a notification if the calculated risk score is above the defined threshold.
