Some key themes highlighted within the report include:

Major data breaches are commonplace today, with a high risk of identity theft and financial loss.
Passwords are insecure, yet authentication is a key requirement for securing today's enterprise.
The user authentication market spans an increasingly wide variety of technologies and vendors, with mobile and cloud as key drivers.

"In addition to saving costs, using biometric authentication within your organization reduces the risk of data breaches and improves staff productivity," said Jim Miller, chairman & CEO of ImageWare. "We encourage you to proactively implement innovative solutions for your customers before your competitors do.
