2024 has seen a whirlwind of change ranging from political shakeups and the global uncertainty they bring to a growth in data breaches and cyberattacks targeting industries and impacting critical infrastructure. We’ve seen a dramatic increase in phishing attacks that lure individuals into providing their credentials to bad actors who then use these credentials to infiltrate corporate networks guised as a legitimate user, all while circumventing certain forms of multi-factor authentication (MFA). 

With 2024 soon to be in the rear view mirror, prepare for a safe 2025 by attending this webinar to learn what organizations and individuals should be prioritizing to become phishing-resistant users and become cyber resilient against an ever evolving cyber threat landscape.

2024 State of Global Authentication: Tackling Cyberthreats at Work & Home

Cyber resilience is in the news again in the wake of the Crowdstrike outage, when organizations of all sizes were unable to access their systems for hours. High availability and disaster recovery, while often designed and planned from top to bottom in the application stack, are often overlooked in the authentication space. Organizations often cede control to a vendor's Identity Provider and simply rely on their SLA. An outage in the authentication space can be just as big as the Crowdstrike outage. When working with Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solutions, the resilience of the service is usually outside the control of the organization, but organizations have some control with their authentication approach.

User authentication methods are a critical part of your cyber resilience posture. Join us as we investigate lessons learned from incidents such as Crowdstrike and MGM Grand, and examine different passkey solutions and how they fit into building a resilient, phishing-resistant organization.

Attend this webinar to learn about:
- Passkey implementations including synced passkeys and device-bound passkeys
- Characteristics of resilient authenticators and authentication methods with Entra ID
- Considerations when designing account onboarding, authentication and account recovery flows
- How to begin your journey towards a resilient phishing-resistant organization
    - How you can leverage the new Entra ID FIDO2 registration API
    - Preparing for the Azure MFA Mandate

Enhancing Federal Security: Issuing PIV-Compatible Credentials

Passwordless authentication can significantly reduce the risk of breaches and phishing attacks by eliminating passwords altogether from the equation. And device-bound passkeys offer a way to accelerate to passwordless as more organizations consider the move away from passwords and broken MFA and towards enhanced security and operational benefits with phishing-resistant MFA. But modern organizations are increasingly thinking past phishing-resistant authentication as a technology and are instead laser focused on the user. Strong authentication and going passwordless starts and ends with the user and phishing-resistant users in turn create phishing-resistant enterprises that can accelerate to enhanced security and operational efficiency, all within a modern passwordless environment. 

Attendees will learn about:
- What phishing-resistant users are and their role in creating phishing-resistant enterprises
- How the move to phishing-resistant users helps enterprises accelerate their passwordless strategy
- How YubiKeys advance an enterprise’s passwordless strategy with easy-to-use, modern device-bound passkeys
- Key considerations when going passwordless and how customers have overcome deployment challenges

Create phishing-resistant users and accelerate your enterprise to passwordless

With phishing attacks on the rise, organizations and governments are seeing an unprecedented rise in phishing attacks that no amount of user training can help prevent. Two important and related ways to drive effective cyber defense and prevent successful attacks are ensuring that cyber insurance plans with good coverage are in place alongside ensuring phishing-resistant users. Yet, many cyber insurance providers are reducing coverage and increasing premiums.

Join us on July 11 for a moderated panel discussion on these two crucial topics. Our panel of industry experts will discuss the current cybersecurity and cyber insurance landscape, and how leaders of today and tomorrow should be planning for the new age of cyber offense without breaking the bank.
