DTS Adaptive-MFA

Okta's Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication provides flexible and intelligent security for all user access points. It uses contextual information like the user's device, location, and login behavior to determine the risk of a login and enforce step-up authentication when needed. This helps replace passwords with stronger authentication methods. Adaptive MFA can be used for employees, suppliers, customers and more, securing access to any web, mobile, or custom application. It also uses risk-based authentication to identify anomalous logins and pairs them with the appropriate authentication strength. Additionally, Okta ThreatInsight prevents large-scale identity attacks by blocking suspicious IPs before authentication.
