The global multi-factor authentication market size was valued at USD 5,067.8 million in 2020 and is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing number of cyberattacks and data breaches across enterprises.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds extra levels of security to validate the user's identity and safeguard online transactions. MFA solutions strengthen enterprise security by requiring extra authentication methods such as a text message or a fingerprint before users can access to accounts containing critical financial information or controls. This system allows to prevent outsiders from gaining access to accounts in the event of a password breach. Users of online transaction have to go through MFA systems, which would be sent through an email, SMS message, or perform a biometric check such as a FaceID check or fingerprint scan to complete the login process. For instance, Duo Security, which Cisco purchased in 2018, offered an access management system that could secure employee access to corporate accounts, assisting organizations in reducing credential-based security threats and meeting regulatory compliance.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has impacted adverse consequences including flight cancellations, travel bans, and quarantines, as well as restaurant closures. However, the increasing use of online platforms for various transaction purposes during the pandemic played a crucial role for the market expansion.
