Why Read This Report

The RSA breach presents IT security professionals with significant challenges regarding authentication and questions the security of the bulletproof hardware token hitherto thought to be invincible. As a result, IT security is asking vendors tough questions about two-factor authentication (2FA) and how they protect 2FA token information. In addition, Forrester sees more and more IT security professionals moving away from hardware-based 2FA authentication tokens toward risk-based authentication (not only for customer access but also for enterprise user access) and to easier-to-manage software-based tokens.
