Jinfo Report

27th August 2015

Abstract

Information managers are moving authentication higher up the agenda, fuelled by increased mobile working, new ways of using content, and potential security breaches. In this report we present FreePint's research results into authentication, including the research methodology, respondents... and the factors which make authentication such a unique challenge.

Grappling with less-than-perfect authentication methods is a challenge for information managers across industries, with some sectors placing greater importance than others on drivers such as a single view of usage or access to resources for partners and affiliates. The research also looked at varying approaches, priorities and plans around authentication.

Finally we examined how information managers can grapple with the complex set of requirements required to solve the challenges of authentication. It's critical to have a strategy for gathering information, as well as reliable sources of that information. The research also uncovered those sources of information as well as soliciting free-form comments on technologies from SSO to IP authentication, the role of senior leadership and a host of other issues.

Includes the following chapters:

• Background and Methodology
• Approaches and Priorities
• What's Needed
