Glossary Term
Threshold
In Plurilock™ products, the Threshold is an administrator-configured setting which represents the pass/fail boundary for authentication events.
When authentication attempts result in identity scores below this threshold, user(s) are not logged in, but rather further action configured by the administrator is taken.
Actions taken may include simple rejection, a requirement to provide additional identity verification through step-up authentication, or other steps to facilitate user logins while still protecting the system in question from unauthorized use.
