Last month, if you remember, the FFIEC put out their 2005 authentication guidance. We harshed on it here, saying that we didn't think that there was much of a difference between the 2001 guidance and the 2005 guidance. We've received some mixed feedback to that commentary from folks in FS (folks that I've worked with in previous lives)... As of now, I've spoken to two individuals (one client and one ex-coworker) who pointed out that they feel that the guidance is a mandate - or at least a stick that can be used to get the business folks in line... Anyway, thought some out there might find it useful that folks in FS are actually taking notice of this. As to how much traction 2 factor will get in deployment, that remains to be seen, but at least the interest is there.
