Risk-Based Authentication (RBA) evaluates login attempts by analyzing contextual and behavioral risk factors such as device trust, geographic location, IP reputation, login time, and behavioral patterns. The system assigns a risk score to each authentication request and determines whether to grant access, require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), request additional verification, or block the attempt altogether.
