According to the research “SPARK Matrix: User Authentication, 2021“, driven by the growing market opportunity, User Authentication vendors are offering robust authentication solutions to provide real-time identification, authentication, and authorization of the users connected to applications and network resources. These solutions provide authorized users with secured access to the privileged resources, block unauthorized users in real-time and help to stop system damages, account takeovers, new account takeover, information stealing, fraudulent transactions, and such other cyberattacks. The primary capabilities of a User Authentication solution include Onboarding, Authorization Support, Analytics, Audit and Reporting, Single Sign On (SSO), and such others. However, the breadth and depth of functionalities differ between different vendors’ offerings.

User Authentication vendors are increasingly looking at improving their market strategy and overall technology value proposition to remain competitive. Following the massive rise in threats caused by the increased adoption of work-from-home culture, BYOD/WYOD (“Wear Your Own Device”) policies, and increasing usage of IoT devices, vendors are implementing Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and advanced analytics to provide a comprehensive solution that is capable of detecting, authenticating, and authorizing users who are accessing the network resources in real time.
