Enterprises, especially SMEs, are aggressively pushing for the adoption of bring your own device (BYOD) policies. And while more smartphones in the office generally means a more mobile, smarter workforce, it also leaves organizational data open to security threats.
This jump in BYOD policies is expected to boost the phone based authentication services market at a CAGR of nearly 50% from 2014-2019, as more and more companies seek to leverage mobility in the workplace.
