Agility is required in authenticating users. The reason is simple. Access scenarios are too diverse and dynamic to depend on a single means of authentication. Your authentication approach must evolve with access scenarios.

If your business is like most, this is what you are experiencing in access scenarios:

• Your users are increasingly mobile and frequently remote
• Their work activities occur at any time
• They insist on using their personal devices for work
• Their use of cloud services is escalating and with that, the security assurance of line-of-sight between users and your business applications and sensitive data is erased
• They are not just your employees but a growing digital ecosystem of third-party personnel
• And in the accelerating pace of work, your users gravitate to convenience even if ill-advised
