IDC gave a good security landscape overview at the SecureAuth executive luncheon today in Palo Alto.

SecureAuth provides a flexible adaptive authentication system that balances security with user experience.

BehavioSec does biometric authentication based on user behavior such as the pattern of keystrokes when entering a password. It builds a statistical profile and them determines if the password is entered anomalously. It provides collector SDKs to collect this information from mobile apps and websites.

In case of a large difference between the expected pattern and the current pattern, the SecureAuth integration forces a step up auth to a second factor.

There is adoption of this kind of technology in banking, retail and other verticals.
