Businesses Under Pressure To 'Consumerize' Logins (betanews.com)

Almost two-thirds (64 percent) of IT leaders say their security teams are considering implementing consumer-grade access to cloud services for employees. From a report: According to the 2018 Identity and Access Management Index from digital security company Gemalto 54 percent of respondents believe that the authentication methods they implement in their businesses are not as good compared to those found on popular sites including Amazon and Facebook. Authentication methods applied in the consumer world can be applied to secure access to enterprise resources 70 percent of IT professionals believe. But despite this, 92 percent of IT leaders express concern about employees reusing personal credentials for work. This comes as 61 percent admit they are still not implementing two-factor authentication to allow access to their network, potentially leaving themselves vulnerable to cyber criminals.

Will someone please translate this for me?

IT Professionals are considering using OpenID for access to internal tools, as opposed to rolling their own system. Major benefit, Google/Facebook handles authentication issues, maintenance of 2-factor authentication, etc. Major cost, dependency on Google/Facebook
