The RSA Risk Engine • Proven sophisticated risk engine • Same risk engine as Adaptive Auth • Protects 250+ million online identities • Optimized for Enterprise use cases • Optimized for: Network Security vs. Fraud Mitigation • Predictable: Use case vs. challenge rate • Simplified: Assurance levels vs. risk scoring • Self tuning risk model adapts to each customer environment • Common device characteristics are de-prioritized in the risk score • Suspicious behavior is based on norms for the overall user population RSA Risk Engine

  25. The RSA Risk Engine Device Identification User Behavior SSL VPN Authentication Policy PASS Protected Resources Activity Details Assurance Level Web Portals Web Browser RISKY RSA Risk Engine Identity Challenge OWA PASS FAIL ? SharePoint On-Demand Tokencode Challenge Questions Access Denied

  26. Device Identification • Device information is a collection of facts about a user’s machine. These collected facts are evaluated by the risk engine to help identify fraudulent authentication attempts. • For each device that interacts with AMX, the following information is captured: • Device Fingerprint • Network Forensics • Device Token • If the device can be identified as a registered device for that user, the authentication attempt is considered low risk; otherwise, the user is considered a higher risk and will be challenged.

  27. Device Identification Device Fingerprint • Analyzes the detailed hardware and software characteristics of each computer • User agent string: The version, platform, and the acceptance-language header (the user’s language preference) • System Display: Width, height, and color depth of the user’s screen • Software Fingerprint: Browser components and plug-ins installed on the device • Browser language: The language of the actual browser • Time zone: The user’s current time zone in GMT • Language: The user’s browser language and the system language • Cookies: Whether or not the user has cookies enabled on their device • Java-enabled: Whether or not the user has java enabled on their device.

  28. Device Identification Network Forensics • Matches device IP configuration to previously registered IP addresses for that machine • Supports DHCP with partial credit based on strength of match: • Exact IP address: Perfect match • Same Class C subnet: Strong match • Same Class B/A subnet: Weak match Note: IP address is used as an identifying device characteristic, but the risk associated with a new, unrecognized, or stale IP address is also evaluated as part of the behavioral analysis

  29. Device Identification Device Token • Device tokens are created and placed on the user’s machine for future identification using a combination of cookies and Flash Shared Objects (FSO’s) • Device Token Recovery can automatically restore user-deleted tokens based on device forensics • Device Token Theft Protection prevents impersonation of a device using a stolen token (e.g., via malware) through a combination of techniques • Encryption of the device ID in the token prevents reuse on another computer • Tokens generation counter prevents replay of an older token

  30. Device Identification Putting it all together • Device tokens (cookies/FSO) ensure a unique match • Without device tokens, strength of match is determined by statistical probability • The risk engine automatically updates its scoring algorithm based on the statistical probability of certain characteristics within each unique deployment.

  31. Behavioral analysis (predictors) • Evaluates behavioral trends for each user/device and corporately across all users in the organization • Anomalous behavior increases the risk associated with an authentication attempt • Common behavior lowers the relevance of this factor in the overall risk score • Three categories of behavior are evaluated • Profile anomalies: recent password or account changes • Comparative anomalies: e.g., new or infrequently used IP address are higher risk • Velocity anomalies: high velocity of users of a single IP/device or high velocity of IP addresses for a single user • Overall impact of behavior anomalies are based on frequency and recentness • Higher velocity and/or lower statistical probability increase the risk score • Recent events are considered high risk but become less impactful over time

  32. Examples of Risky Behavior • Low Risk: Common activities that nonetheless could be associated with fraud • New accounts, recently modified accounts, or authentications from previously unknown locations • Medium Risk: Multiple activities combined in a suspicious way • Authenticating from an unusual location soon after a failed Identity Confirmation challenge • High Risk: Clearly identified fraudulent activity • Authenticating from a machine with an invalid or modified cookie Note: The older a risk event, the less impact it has on your risk score

  33. Assurance Levels • Assurance Level: The degree of confidence associated with each user authentication attempt • Minimum Assurance Level: • Minimum assurance required to authenticate without being challenged • Defined by policy (multiple policies can be created) • Four pre-defined assurance threshold – HIGH, MED-HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW Strong Device Match Risky User Behavior Decreases Assurance Increases Assurance

  34. Identifying the Key Assurance Level Contributors for each authentication attempt Overall Assurance Level • Assurance based on device identification and behavioral predictors • Five levels from Very Low to High • Assurance < the defined policy threshold will result in an Identity Challenge Device Identification Score (Arg 3 - 5)(raises the overall assurance level) • Highest contributing token element • Highest contributing networking element • Highest contributing device fingerprint element Behavioral Analysis Score (Arg 3 - 5)(lowers the overall assurance level) • Highest contributing profile anomaly • Highest contributing comparative anomaly • Highest contributing velocity anomaly

  35. Selecting a Minimum Assurance Level • High Assurance: BEST for protecting sensitive assets when higher challenge rates are acceptable • Authentication from easily-identifiable, corporate-owned assets (e.g., an employee laptop) • Users that regularly authenticate from the same location (e.g., branch office, partner location, or an employee’s home) • Medium-High Assurance (Recommended): VERY GOOD for protecting sensitive assets when higher challenge rates are not acceptable • Authentication from corporate and individual-owned assets when policy can be dictated (e.g., cookies must be enabled). • Laptop users that frequently authenticate while traveling • Medium Assurance: GOOD when a balance between protection and end user convenience is required • Authentication from uncontrolled, Individual-owned assets (e.g., a personal laptop or home PC) • When corporate policy cannot be enforced or when tracking objects (e.g., cookies or flash shared objects) cannot be reliably used • Low Assurance: Provides the lowest level of protection and should only be used with the least sensitive assets and when end user convenience is the overriding priority. • Provides only minimum device assurance while challenging users primarily based on suspicious behavior

  36. Other Determining Factors • The risk engine requires a learning period: • During which it is building up a profile of users, their devices, and of the general user population behavior. During this initial period, users may be challenged at a higher rate • The risk engine employs soft matching techniques: • That allow for a partial match based on statistical probability. For example, the risk engine may have insufficient information to unequivocally identify a device, but it will use a variety of forensic tools to assess the probability of a match and adjust its scoring accordingly. • The AMX risk engine employs a self-tuning model: • That dynamically compensates its statistical matching algorithms based on the commonality of certain parameters within your deployment. A self-tuning model improves security while optimizing the model for your specific deployment and reducing overall challenge rates, but this also means that results could vary over time

  37. Silent Collection • Enables a seamless migration of users from passwords to RBA without pre-provisioning or other administrator intervention • During silent collection, the risk engine: • Passively monitors user authentications attempts • Updates its risk model based on collected profile and behavioral data • Automatically registers user devices • Does NOT challenge high risk users • If a user achieves the minimum assurance threshold they are prompted to complete the self-enrollment process

  38. Silent Collection Pros and Cons Pros • Seamless transition with minimum disruption for end users • No administrator intervention required • User-specific silent collection period minimizes the collection window • Useful for initial AMX roll out and for on-boarding of new users • Better tuned risk engine before users are challenged Cons • During the collection period, authentication is password-only • Some risk that an attacker could bind an unauthorized machine • Collection period can expire before the user completes enrollment
