Abstract
Wouldn't you rather stop a security breach than detect it? So why do organizations have a love affair with intrusion detection systems and neglect strong authentication? While an IDS system can detect a breach, the authentication may stop it entirely. Numerous surveys done over the years have shown that passwords are the most common cause of information security breaches. Upgrading authentication may be the best investment you can make in enterprise security in terms of effectiveness.
