Market Guide for User Authentication

We are proud to announce that OneSpan was named a Representative Vendor in the August 2023 Gartner Market Guide for User Authentication. The report recognized OneSpan for its Intelligent Adaptive Authentication and Digipass® solutions.

In this report, Gartner provides valuable insight and recommendations for security and risk management leaders focused on identity and access management. According to Gartner, “User authentication is a cornerstone of digital identity and identity first security. Identity Access Management (IAM) focused SRM leaders should seek toolsets that minimize account takeover risk and optimize employee and customer user experience as part of a cohesive cybersecurity strategy that reflects human-centric design.”

You can use a Market Guide to understand how the status of an emerging market aligns to your future plans. In addition, since Gartner has published over 100 Market Guide research notes, IT and strategic leaders* and investors can gain a broad view of many markets, including mature and smaller markets, in an easy-to-read format.

According to this report:

  • “Passwords remain a significant source of risk for organizations and of friction, frustration and fatigue for users and administrators, contrary to HCSD principles. IAM leaders will seek passwordless authentication methods, with FIDO2 methods dominating within the next three years.”
  • “For workforce use cases, device-bound passkeys may be appropriate; however, in the short term, FIDO2 security keys will remain the preferred roaming authenticator, despite higher TCO.”
  • “Explore broader use of passkeys and other FIDO2 options to provide phishing-resistant passwordless MFA.”
