Mobile push authentication messages provide a better user experience and protect users more effectively than password-protected accounts and one-time pins (OTP), which is important to protect data as more companies have adopted cloud computing and remote working, says device identity and authentication software company Entersekt CTO Gerhard Oosthuizen. US wireless network operator Verizon’s annual security report showed that compromised credentials are the most often used asset (80%) when it comes to data breaches. Two-factor authentication, such as OTP technology, adds a layer of protection, but often increases user friction and is susceptible to work-arounds, such as SIM-swap and man-in-the-middle attacks.
