What Is The Driver Of The Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Authentication Market?

The increase in cyber threats is expected to propel the growth of the fast identity online (FIDO) authentication market going forward. Cyber threats refer to potential dangers or risks posed by malicious activities to damage data with various activities and tactics targeting computer systems, networks, and digital information. FIDO authentication helps prevent cyber threats by eliminating passwords, providing strong authentication, and storing biometrics locally, with fast, secure logins powered by cryptographic credentials that never leave the user’s device. For instance, in November 2023, according to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), a US-based professional organization, in the first quarter of 2023, there were 1,624,144 phishing attacks the highest quarterly total on record. The financial sector was the most targeted, accounting for 23.5% of attacks, and voicemail phishing (vishing) surged more than 40% compared to the previous quarter. Therefore, the increase in cyber threats is driving the growth of the FIDO authentication market.
