HID was chosen as a leader in the 2024 SPARK Matrix^™: User Authentication, 2024 due to its outstanding capabilities in providing robust security features, seamless integration with existing systems, and comprehensive management tools that ensure secure and efficient identity verification and access control for resources.

QKS Group defines User Authentication as "A solution that empowers organizations to identify, authenticate and authorize users which are connected to network resources through OTPs, TOTP and passwordless authentication. It provides secure access to the authorized users which have access to the privileged resources, mitigates account takeover, also prevents phishing activities, information theft and fraudulent transactions by blocking unauthorized users in real-time. It strengthens IT security by enhancing networks, applications, data security and addresses IT security regulatory compliances. Additionally, user authentication helps to manage digital identities that can be accessed through cloud, mobile and on-prem environments."

According to Sanket Kadam Analyst at QKS Group, "HID's Authentication Platform covers the full identity journey beyond passwordless by enabling the creation, use and management of secure identities in the cloud or on-prem. The platform supports multiple form factors such as physical access cards, FIDO and PKI-enabled smart cards and security keys, hardware OTP tokens, as well as multiple authentication methods, including biometrics, push-based mobile authentication, behavioral analytics, risk-based authentication, and out-of-band authentication. These capabilities help organizations safeguard sensitive data and manage secure access for users across diverse systems."

"We want to enable enterprise organizations to find the passwordless journey that best fits their needs to enhance their customer and employee experiences without compromising on security. We do that by offering flexibility with the broadest range of authentication methods, and by leveraging our 20+ years expertise to meet today's security needs while accelerating tomorrow's path to passwordless," says Sean Dyon, VP & Head of the Authentication Business Unit at HID. "Our ongoing collaboration with industry leaders and partners like Microsoft, and adoption of key standards such as FIDO, underscores our commitment to driving innovation in this space."

The user authentication market is evolving rapidly due to the increasing reliance on digital interactions across sectors, creating a heightened need for secure, seamless, and user-friendly authentication solutions. Market dynamics in user authentication are heavily influenced by the growing volume of cyber threats, regulatory compliance requirements, and the rise of digital transformation initiatives. Organizations are shifting from traditional password-based authentication to more robust methods like multi-factor authentication (MFA), biometric authentication, and adaptive authentication to safeguard their digital assets while enhancing user experience. As businesses digitize their operations, they seek authentication solutions that not only secure access but also provide an optimal user journey.
