A new next-generation access and authentication platform powered by artificial intelligence was launched Wednesday by SecureAuth. The platform, Arculix, combines orchestration, passwordless technology and continuous authentication and can be deployed out of the box with any industry-standard identity provider as an end-to-end solution or as augmentation to an existing identity and access management (IAM) scheme.
The days of granting blanket trust after initial authentication are over, says SecureAuth CEO Paul Trulove. “If, after initial authentication, you never authenticate again, a bad actor could potentially run rampant in your system,” he tells CSO. “That’s why organizations are moving away from passwords as a mechanism for authentication and creating an initial level of trust and moving further along the maturity curve around authentication so they just don’t evaluate the level of trust at the outset of a transaction. They continually evaluate risk signals observed during a session to determine if something has changed and whether they need to reauthenticate.”
