Multi-Factor Authentication
This report deals with the emerging multifactor authentication technologies in the enterprise segment. From simple hardware-based tokenization and smart card authentication, to popular software-based OTP methods, GPS tracking, credential management, and biometrics the report investigates the influx of personal devices in the workplaces and the possibility of leveraging them as part of a sophisticated MFA adoption. Further, innovative approaches to MFA such as behavioral work pattern analysis and heuristic-based risk assessment models are discussed. A number of innovative solutions from pioneering vendors including Intel, Centrify, Yubico, Iovation, Vasco, and VBG are analyzed as archetypical examples of emerging technologies.
