Many organizations rely on only one method to protect remote access to their data. However, analysts like Forrester and Gartner are calling for multiple layers to authentication security. Organizations want a single, integrated platform for layered multifactor authentication and identity proofing for remote users.  Particularly now, as new breaches are seemingly announced every day, having an out-of-the-box capability to move legacy token holders to innovative and diverse alternative authentication vectors on a trusted system is paramount.

To combine system security and usability, CISO’s are looking for comprehensive array of authentication vectors – including OATH physical and mobile fobs, SMS messages, voice biometrics, and IVR interactions. They are also looking for authentication and proofing systems that are immediately available with both on-premise and cloud-based solutions.

A choice where tokens need to be replaced to ensure security is no choice at all for a cost-conscious organization. Instead, organizations are looking for a solution that fully supports business continuity in emergency situations allowing users to be automatically moved to different authentication channels and allowing for security levels to be heightened internally.
