Passwords are the most common attack vector and are a leading cause of data breaches. To counteract this weakness, companies have turned to multi-factor authentication (MFA) for a more robust alternative to basic passwords to increase assurance of a user’s identity at authentication. However, since most MFA solutions rely on passwords and other phishable factors for authentication: password-based MFA remains very vulnerable to password-related attacks such as phishing, man-in- the-middle attacks, SIM swaps, and more. The problems are only exacerbated due to the increased prevalence of SaaS apps, BYOD policies, and a historic rise in remote workforces as well as the dissipation of the security perimeter. Join us for an insightful conversation on how passwordless MFA can enable the verification of a user’s identity with confidence, provide comprehensive data protection and meet the new requirements of the modern workforce. We will also deep dive on the best practices on how a truly secure passwordless MFA is device-based that promotes adoption and compliance while reducing friction for users.
