    Back-end Improvements

    • VP-VA is introducing a confidence score that will accompany risk scores. The confidence score is an amalgam of data variety, data volume, and temporal factors. As VP-VA becomes more familiar with the actions of a given user, the system’s confidence in the reported risk score of the user’s action will increase towards full confidence.
    • The Risk API introduces an endpoint that will return the Risk score of the event for external consumption. For example, a third-party identity provider could request the risk score programmatically and send an MFA challenge if the score were to exceed a set threshold.
