Telesign annual report

We’re sharing Telesign’s
journey by numbers

According to Gartner and Telesign’s first-hand experience, the COVID-19 pandemic started a rapid adoption of cloud services, which has hugely increased enterprises’ exposure to phishing and other attacks. This has driven new investment in multi-factor authentication (MFA), among other cloud security controls.

By 2023, 60% of large and global enterprises will deploy multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities and 90% will leverage API-enabled CPaaS offerings as a strategic IT skill set to enhance their digital competitiveness.
