Clearly, there is a trend towards strong, simple, and flexible authentication, beyond passwords. However, just talking about multi-factor authentication and password vaults is not sufficient. What organizations should evaluate are versatile authentication and, as the next and logical step, context- and risk-based authentication and authorization. That is the real trend. It is all about understanding the bigger picture. Look at this to understand the future of authentication and authorization, not at a point approach.
