What is PassMark RSA Layered Authentication?
RSA Adaptive Authentication, formerly known as PassMark, is a machine metrics-based solution designed for customers who access their accounts from a home or office workstation. In a machine metrics solution, each workstation is identified by a specific set of criteria and validated upon login. When you access your accounts from a different computer, such as at an Internet caf or library, you are prompted to answer specific challenge questions. This scenario is known as out of band-authentication. If the challenge process is completed successfully, access is permitted and you are allowed to perform transactions.
