Capps came to Mastercard in 2017 when the company acquired NuData Security, which provides behavioral biometrics tools to help prevent financial fraud.

The agency urged enterprises to use more sophisticated techniques, such as biometrics or behavioral authentication, which includes using geolocation data or IP addresses, to help verify a users' identities.

By analyzing behavioral indicators - such as device location, the customers' use of the technology and how they interact with it, and when they normally transact and from where -organizations are better able to verify a customer's identity, Capps says.

Lowe says in an interview with ISMG that the key tenets of zero trust are allowing access to corporate networks based on what is known about the individual and their identity, the device used to access the network, the location of the device and the sensitivity level of the data being accessed.

"They're actually executing things like Java script, and they're allowing collection of typematic telemetry and mouse movements and other behavioral elements, so that those transactions look a lot more human," Capps says.
