About this plugin
GuardianKey is a service to protect systems in real-time against authentication attacks. It implements GK Auth Security for login protection and GKTinc dissuasion challenges, helping detect and block malicious accesses, and notify the legitimate user and the system administrator.
Beyond the security, the GuardianKey solution provides a good user experience, because the user is not required to provide extra information or to execute tasks during the login. When GKTinc is enabled, the challenge runs automatically during login, with server-side validation in the plugin.
GuardianKey’s approach provides a risk assessment in real-time. The events and risks can be explored in the GuardianKey’s administration panel.
How GuardianKey works
The GuardianKey detection engine analyzes the events sent by your online system to the GuardianKey servers.
The detection engine uses Machine Learning and our secret mathematical risk formula to combine the following three analysis approaches: Threat Intelligence, Behavioral Profiling, and Psychometric Profiling. Using these three pillars, our engine computes a risk for each event sent by the protected systems. In real time, the online attempt can be blocked, an extra requirement can be requested to the user, or notifications can be triggered.
All data sent to GuardianKey servers are doubly encrypted, and NOT send passwords or sensitive data.
