Security News > 2020 > March > Auth0 Adds Threat Intelligence Tools to Identification Platform

Identity management firm Auth0 has launched Auth0 Signals, a collection of threat intelligence tools and capabilities designed to protect customers from identity attacks.

The purchased company's knowledge of malicious IP addresses provides an additional source of IP threat intelligence to Auth0's anomaly detection engine, which protects Auth0 customers.

"The continual analysis of numerous risk signals - such as IP reputation, use of breached passwords, and failed authentication volume - assesses the risk of a transaction, login attempt, or session. The collective data gathered from Auth0 Signals produces a Confidence Score that Auth0's platform then uses to prompt adaptive authentication, or intelligent and dynamic enforcement of controls, such as multi-factor authentication or blacklisting, based on risk," explained Auth0.

Auth0 CTO Woloski added, "Credential stuffing, password spraying, phishing, and other malicious attempts are constantly multiplying, and customers need more risk signals than any one company can provide, which is why we've created Auth0 Signals." He explained that the company wished to provide a free resource to the application builder community for improved security.

Additional Auth0 Signals threat intelligence tools will be launched in 2020, and will be freely available to security practitioners for proactive abuse prevention and incident investigation.
