Abstract
A token-based security risk assessment service for multi-factor authentication (MFA) is described. An enterprise may utilize the security risk assessment service, and a telecommunication service provider may provide the security risk assessment service as a network-based service. The security risk assessment service may be configured to monitor identifiers (IDs) of elements associated with users associated with an enterprise to determine if any have changed. Any changes may be factored into an adjustment to the user's security profile. Furthermore, the enterprise can utilize the security risk assessment service to implement a token-based MFA scheme where Short Message Service (SMS) is used as an authentication factor.
