RSA Adaptive Authentication vs WiKID Systems comparison

RSA Adaptive Authentication is a risk-based two-factor authentication solution providing cost-effective protection for an entire user base. Adaptive Authentication secures online portals, SSL VPNs, and web access management portals for different types of organizations in the healthcare, insurance, enterprise, government, financial services, and other industries. Based on the transparent two-factor authentication technology, Adaptive Authentication works behind the scenes to authenticate end users and transactions based on individual end user and device profiles. In addition, Adaptive Authentication uses the RSA Risk Engine to estimate the level of risk for the specific activity and uses information collected from the RSAeFraudNetwork (a cross-organization, cross-application, cross-border online fraud network) to identify fraudulent activities. The Policy Manager determines what actions must be performed, depending on the risk score and other parameters.

WiKID Strong Authentication System is a two-factor security technology that is meant to replace existing, high-cost, two-factor systems. The WiKID Strong Authentication System employs lightweight clients using asymmetric cryptography for receiving passcodes for authorization into intranets, VPNs, online banking sites, etc.
