The global multifactor authentication (MFA) market is predicted to reach more than $10 billion by 2017. 90 percent of the MFA market belongs to two-factor authentication, but the other 10 percent will play a large role.

The speed of this growth will be determined by the flexibility of the biometric solutions developed and how well they integrate with the prevailing BYOD culture of corporate environments.”]
