Authentication is one of the chief challenges impacting the current information security landscape. With the risk of scams, fraud and data manipulation greater than ever, authenticating the identity of legitimate users is pivotal to keeping organizations’ and people’s data safe.
However, traditional authentication methods have often omitted two elements key to their successful use – usability and practicality. When users, typically short for time or under work-related pressures, are met with authentication methods that are cumbersome, slow and impractical, they will likely find workarounds and alternatives that lead to significant security risks.
This session will therefore address the need for better, more user-friendly authentication and outline why, when it comes to future-proofing authentication methods, there is no time like the present.
Key takeaways:
- Why authentication is one the top modern infosec challenges
- How to streamline and strengthen authentication processes
- A glimpse into authentication methods of the future
