Protecting critical infrastructure against cyber attacks is of urgent importance across the world. With most cyber attacks, malicious actors don’t break in, they log in—using stolen credentials acquired through phishing. Once accounts are breached, attackers can steal data, damage critical systems or wreak havoc using ransomware.  Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the single most important defense, but not all forms of MFA are created equal. 

Join Yubico for a roundtable discussion to learn about:
- How not all forms of multi-factor authentication (MFA) are created equal 
- The need for adopting phishing-resistant MFA to secure user access
- Deployment best practices for securing critical infrastructure gathered from numerous global deployments across variety of sectors 

In an interconnected ecosystem strengthening our cybersecurity posture is an important step toward winning the fight against cyber crime.

Meeting the Sept 2024 White House phishing-resistant MFA deadline

Over 2023, passkeys have seen a huge increase in adoption across enterprise and consumer applications. While any passkey is more secure than a password, and other forms of legacy MFA, there still exists security concerns around the concept of “syncable passkeys”. Enterprises, and organizations bound by regulation, may be required to utilize FIDO2 credentials that are bound to a single device. With this in mind, the big question is how do I restrict my application to only utilize device-bound passkeys?

Join Yubico’s Developer Program as we dive into the technical details on how to establish a WebAuthn relying party that is able to discern between a syncable and device-bound passkey to then take the appropriate action based on your security policies, and user needs.

By the end of this webinar you will have the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to build a passkey application that can be used for high assurance scenarios.

Developing passkey applications for high assurance scenarios

The primary  point for most cyber attacks—phishing, ransomware, and data theft—due to stolen credentials, making the need for stronger authentication practices imperative. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) holds organizations worldwide accountable for implementing higher levels of cybersecurity to safeguard sensitive information like payment card information (PCI), employee and customer personal identifiable information (PII).

With PCI DSS v3.2.1 sunsetting at the end of March 2024, meeting version PCI DSS v4.0 will be top of mind across industries like financial services, retail, hospitality, telcos—truly any and all entities involved in payment processing. Attend this webinar to learn about:

- Embracing the move to PCI DSS 4.0 compliance guidelines and what this means for your authentication strategy 
- How not all forms of multi-factor authentication (MFA) are created equal 
- The need for adopting phishing-resistant MFA using device-bound passkeys for user access to critical systems and customer-facing digital services 
- Prioritizing cybersecurity investments to protect against cyber threats.

How to bolster your authentication strategy for PCI DSS 4.0

It is more vital than ever to maintain robust data security and easy information sharing across the Department of Defense (DoD). Previously, DOD professionals relied upon issuance of credentials stored on single-protocol smart cards, creating UX complexity, an increased cost of supporting devices, and limited usage across devices and systems. Phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) is quickly becoming the new bulwark against modern cyber threats, including emerging quantum threats.  

To optimize information sharing, provide robust data protection, and ensure that agencies continue to safeguard the nation’s most sensitive information, a Zero Trust security model with a strong identity credentialing and access management (ICAM) stack that supports secure credential issuance on an AAL3 phishing-resistant authenticator, is key. Each of these requirements would be supported by an approved multi-protocol, multi-factor, AAL3 hardware authenticator that has a valid FIPS 140-2 certification.

This session will describe the value of modern authentication, phishing-resistant protocols, and how hardware-based multi-protocol authenticators can secure users across the Department of Defense.

Passkeys are the long awaited replacement for passwords.  While passwords have been the primary standard in securing user accounts, they are not without issues. Passwords are easy to forget, and easily phishable, which has led to security breaches in various industries. Passkeys are meant to address this challenge and accelerate widespread adoption of passwordless authentication for consumers and organizations. And while there are many ways to get to a passwordless state, it’s important to remember that one size does not fit all. And organizations don’t have to choose one or the other and rather can use a hybrid approach to achieve passwordless goals to secure different users in the organization. 

Attend this webinar to learn about:
- The different passwordless options such as Smart Card/PIV and FIDO-based approaches
- How passkeys fit in the landscape of passwordless options
- Security, usability and manageability implications of each option  
- Customer examples of moving to passwordless using one or more approaches
