How does Risk-Based Security Control benefit user experience?

Risk-Based Security Control enhances user experience by making security measures less intrusive. This approach strategically assesses risks and tailors security practices based on the level of threat or vulnerability present. Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all security solution, which can often frustrate users with excessive barriers, the risk-based model allows for adaptive security controls. As a result, users can enjoy a smoother and more efficient interaction with systems while still maintaining a strong security posture.

For instance, if a user is accessing a low-risk resource, the access controls may be lighter, while higher-risk activities might trigger additional verification steps. This balance ensures that security does not become an obstacle that hampers productivity or user satisfaction, thereby fostering a more positive overall experience.
