They've come a long way, to coin a phrase. Symmetric software tokens are susceptible to brute-force attack and cloning. WiKID's use of asymmetric encryption prevents this brute-force attack, making WiKID the most secure software-based two-factor authentication system.

Understanding the short-comings of return on investment analysis can help you "sell" security projects to the CFO-types in your organization. ROI doesn't include any measure for the risk of a project and can result in bad decisions. There are simple ways to add risk into your financial analyses for security projects that will help clarify your analysis and improve your proposals. With WiKID, for example, the built-in password reset mechanism reduces LAN password reset calls creating cost savings immediately; the use of strong authentication for a vendors reduces the risk of a security breach which reduces the weighted-average cost of capital for your e-supply chain project - increasing returns. It's a virtuous circle of business value creation..
