Episode notes
Risk Decisions In Milliseconds
- Callsign uses ML/AI and threat feeds to make authentication decisions in ~50ms.
- It combines device signals, behavior, and location to reduce unnecessary friction.
Let Models Learn Over Several Logins
- Build per-user behavioral models and allow a short learning window of about five to eight logins.
- Use that maturity to reduce step-ups once the model reliably recognizes the user.
Prioritize Fast Authentication
- Prioritize authentication responsiveness because B2C customers abandon slow flows.
- Architect for internet scale and remove UI and backend bottlenecks to stay competitive.
