Setting up OTP Anywhere to create universal delivery options for auto-generated one-time-passwords used for secondary, risk-based user challenges to add sophisticated security to basic authentcation flows in a few easy steps
Setting up a Policy Set to evaluate traffic and to identify possible risks at checkpoints
Creating and managing policies, which contain security rules and configurations used to evaluate the level of risk at each checkpoint.
Creating groups to be used in rule conditions, to link a policy to user groups, as alert and action groups, and as exceptions groups.
Configuring patterns to record the behavior of the user accessing the system and to profile (creates a digest of) the user's data
Managing supplementary actions that are triggered based on the result action, or based on the risk scoring after a checkpoint execution, or based on both
Managing entities, user-defined structure that can be re-used across different transactions
Mapping client-specific transactions with corresponding entities so information can be captured and used for enforcing authorization rules, fraud analysis, and so on
Using Oracle BI Publisher as the reporting solution for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager
