Traditional authentication techniques are easily outsmarted by cybercriminals, making those inadequate
for robust fraud prevention. Organizations should start thinking more strategically about protecting their
sensitive data and critical systems. They also need to choose a sustainable and adaptive cybersecurity
solution that will work both now and in the future.
One-time authentication methods only provide security at given times. Deploying 2FA or MFA during
login will make it more secure. Usually, additional authentication is required for certain high-risk activities
like initiating a bank transfer, paying with a card, or getting access to sensitive corporate data.
Furthermore, one-time authentication techniques are easy to hack, and once the cybercriminal has
access, there is nothing to stop them.
Continuous authentication, on the other hand, runs in the background and does not require any extra
input from the user. It simply observes the user's behavior and activity while applying advanced
evaluation methods to identify them at a high frequency.
This means that authentication becomes a continuous process – anything the user does is an invisible
authentication challenge itself. Mouse movement dynamics, keystroke dynamics, and the user's digital
fingerprint (IP address, browser version, etc.) can all be used for continuous authentication.
Most behavioral biometric authentication systems are based on machine learning models. This allows
them to enhance the accuracy of authentication over time. The longer they can record data, i.e. monitor
user behavior, the more accurately they can recognize features and unique user traits, and the more
accurate the authentication will become.
Cursor Insight Ltd.'s Graboxy Sentinel is a new product that provides continuous biometric authentication
and protects enterprises from corporate account takeovers. It uses the company’s proprietary AI
technology to learn and analyze the users’ cursor movements, that are just as unique as handwriting.
If the real-time cursor movement analysis shows a divergence from the user’s biometric profile, Graboxy
Sentinel flags the fraudulent user accessing the account. Flagged users can be locked out or re-verified
using traditional multi-factor authentication methods.
