IBM Security Access Manager supports five main context
domains for risk-based access control
Endpoints:
There are various unique attributes (device fingerprint).
Screen depth/resolution, Fonts, OS, Browser, Browser plug-in, device model & UUID
Identity:
Groups, roles, credential attributes, organization
Environment:
Geographic location, network, local time . . . etc
Resource / Action:
The application being requested and what is being done.
Behavior:
Analytics of user historical and current resource usage.
User activity monitoring, specific business activity monitoring

What are some use cases for strong / context-aware access?
 Improved end user experience:
– Eliminate usernames and passwords for mobile
devices users
– Situation awareness and graded trust
 Stronger mechanisms of validating an identity for
improved assurance
– Biometrics, touchID
– Multi-factor authentication
– Support FIO alliance
 Adoption of Mobile
– Secure mobile devices / transactions
– Use mobile device for authentication
– Out of band authentication (push notification)
 Step-up authentication for additional identity
assurance:
– Unknown device, high-risk or infected device
– High-value transactions
 Transaction validation
– Support 3D Secure
– Mandated by federal regulations
 Risk-elevation factors:
– IP reputation, Geo-political location
– Behavioral anomalies (e.g., time of day)
 Continuous authentication:
– Soft biometrics / behavioral biometrics
– User presence detection (e.g., motion)

Applications
 Risk-based access controls built around malware and fraud risk score from Trusteer
– High risk transactions can be prompted to change behavior (e.g. open secure browser) or
perform step-up authentication
 ISAM adds Trusteer fraud protection to applications without requiring any code
changes on the protected applications themselves

Applications
 Allows users to easily access enterprise resources with minimal authentication
friction
 Utilizes existing access management infrastructure to prevent the need for
application changes while enabling access from mobile devices
 Risk-based access controls can utilize context from MaaS360 in access decision
(e.g., compliance state, jail broken status, ownership status, etc.)

Implementation pattern for providing advanced API security
DataPower is the API Gateway for IBM API Management to secure & integrate API traffic
 IBM API Management provides developer portal, API analytics, and development acceleration for
ISAM integration on DataPower Gateway appliances
 IBM DataPower Gateway provides API runtime policy enforcement point and integration to other
dynamic decision engines (e.g., ISAM)
 IBM Security Access Manager provides advanced mobile/API security capabilities for enhanced
protection of API resources.

What is important to you when you think of mobile security?
 How do you deliver user access security for mobile applications in your organization?
 What are your major security concerns when launching new mobile applications?
 Do you have different solution requirements for internal users (employees, contractors) vs.
external users (consumers, business partners)?
 Do you use an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) or Mobile Device Management
(MDM) solution today? How well does it integrate with your IAM solutions?
 Are you using mobile apps from 3rd party vendors or SaaS providers? If so, are there any
unique security or user experience challenges that these introduce?

Statement of Good Security Practices: IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response to improper access from within and outside
your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, misappropriated or misused or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including for use in attacks
on others. No IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product, service or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper use or access.
IBM systems, products and services are designed to be part of a lawful, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other
systems, products or services to be most effective. IBM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE IMMUNE FROM, OR WILL MAKE YOUR ENTERPRISE
IMMUNE FROM, THE MALICIOUS OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY PARTY.
