69% of Organizations Will Do Away with Passwords within 5 Years
A new survey says that 69 percent of organizations are likely to do away with passwords within the next 5 years.
"While companies are learning that password-only policies leave their organizations vulnerable, many ITDMs and C-level executives are still hesitant to evolve and update their authentication strategies," said Craig Lund, CEO of SecureAuth. "It's a tough balancing act -- organizations must confirm user identities with the strongest forms of access control while also balancing a positive and non-intrusive user experience. Fortunately, user-friendly adaptive access technologies such as device recognition, threat services, and geo-location look-up, when used in layers helps strengthen any organization's security posture, enabling users to stay both secure and productive with minimal disruption to their daily routines."
