Shifting Sands in Strong Authentication

Forrester Research has published a report entitled Shift Happened In The Strong Authentication Market In 2009, which notes that almost of the authentication vendors the research profiled in a July 2008 market overview have since changed hands.

"Even those that haven't had a shift in ownership -- or seen their brands disappear entirely -- have been engaged in rebranding, refocusing, or reorganization activities," the firm notes. "These changes have not been brought about by dramatic shifts in the technology landscape, but reflect both the challenging economic times and the gradual evolution of how security and risk management professionals are trying to bridge the gap between security and usability when issuing identity and authentication credentials."
