The Authentication Revolution: Phones Become the Leading Multi-Factor Authentication Device

Escalating IT security threats and strengthening regulatory requirements

are driving adoption of multi-factor authentication to unprecedented levels.

Increasingly, new and expanded multi-factor implementations are leveraging

phone-based authentication instead of security tokens, which had

previously dominated the multi-factor market. According to Goode Intelligence,

an information security research and analysis firm, phone-based

authentication will comprise 61% of the multi-factor authentication market

by the year 2014.
