Press Release
London, 07 July 2014: A new report from TechNavio, the independent tech-focused global research firm, shows the Global Hardware One Time Password (OTP) Token Authentication Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.96 percent from 2013-2018, thanks primarily to demand from the banking and government sectors.
Hardware OTP authentication is a two-factor authentication solution that enables secure remote network access and digital signature functionality with the help of a physical hardware authenticator or a secure token.
This type of authentication is required for added security in critical infrastructure and in companies that witness a high level of online activity. Since hardware OTP tokens provide a second layer of secure authentication, it becomes more difficult for attackers to hack into a user’s system.
