Phone Verification & Adaptive MFA With Telesign & Descope

Telesign, a digital identity verification and communications company, and Descope have collaborated to enhance user authentication processes by integrating Telesign's risk analysis and phone verification capabilities into Descope's workflows. This integration allows organizations to implement adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA), which adjusts the security level based on the risk score of login attempts, thus minimizing user friction while maintaining robust security. Telesign's SDKs and APIs help prevent fraudulent activities by analyzing consumer data points and traffic patterns, and the integration with Descope enables seamless SMS communication and phone number verification. By using tools like Descope Flows and Telesign Intelligence, organizations can efficiently manage user journeys and modify authentication processes to adapt to changing security needs without extensive coding, thereby protecting against threats such as SIM swapping and account takeovers while ensuring a smooth user experience.
