Authentication: A pillar of information assurance

摘要

We kick off the new year with a look at authentication from two perspectives. Mike Lipinski puts multifactor authentication devices through their paces. He found that this category continues to grow since we looked at it last year. He also found that users need to balance security requirements and appetite for risk with this type of product.rnSC Lab Manager Mike Stephenson brought bio-metric devices into the lab and was a bit surprisedrnto find that most of the products were intended to manage physical rather than logical access. That is a distinct change from last year.
