Multi-factor Authentication to Generate $27 Billion Globally for Mobile Operators in 2022, Juniper Research Study Finds
Multi-factor Authentication to Generate $27 Billion Globally for Mobile Operators in 2022, Juniper Research Study Finds
A new study by Juniper Research has found operators will generate $27 billion from the termination of SMS messages related to multi-factor authentication in 2022; an increase from $25 billion in 2021. The research predicts this 5% growth will be driven by increased pressure on digital service providers to offer secure authentication that reduces risk of data breaches and protects user identity. Multi-factor authentication combines multiple credentials to verify a user or transaction. This includes sending an SMS that contains a one‑time password or code to a user’s unique phone number.
