The threats to information security are real. It’s more important than ever for organizations to make information security a top priority, and this becomes even more pressing as business people increasingly embrace mobile and wearable devices in their work lives. With fast changes in the technology landscape, evolving threats, and bigger security budgets, we are on the brink of a massive shift in enterprise security and authentication, and its promise lies in a solution that can deliver a high cost to break, unprecedented ease of use, and superior enterprise functionality.

This paper seeks to explain the key dynamics involved with security in enterprise context and identify the main considerations and trade-offs generally associated with any enterprise security solution.
