With 84% of organizations having experienced an identity-related breach in the last year, investments in identity security are at an all-time high. On top of that, many are moving away from legacy approaches to authentication and toward a passwordless future.  

For organizations that have a heterogeneous IT ecosystem and varying internal requirements, the path to passwordless isn’t always clear. Due to this underlying complexity, security executives are often forced to take a fragmented approach to authentication, which can create significant user and administrative friction, high costs, and most importantly—gaps and inconsistencies that can be exploited by bad actors.

Join this 30-minute webinar with Axiad on July 21 to learn more about:
• How you can shift from a fragmented to a holistic approach to authentication
• Best practices for building an integrated authentication solution in your organization
• What to look for in order to remove friction without compromising on security
• How you can take a step-by-step approach to enterprise-wide passwordless orchestration

Holistic Authentication: Closing the Gaps in Your Passwordless Strategy

Over the past year, complex cyberattacks have skyrocketed—and it is no surprise that the U.S. defense industrial base and government contractors are primary targets. In this context, following the DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is now more important than ever. Typically seen as phishing and account takeovers targeting digital identities, these attacks result in data exposure, denial of service, erosion of data integrity, and risk to critical assets. 

What if the solution was not to make passwords stronger, but rather to remove them entirely?
 
Join Axiad and Atos on April 14th to learn why passwordless phishing-resistant Multi-factor Authentication is the most secure and practical defense. 

We’ll discuss:  
1) General challenges of implementing CMMC identification and authentication controls
2) Actions to validate your workforce and machine identities in compliance with CMMC
3) What to look for in a phishing-resistant Multi-factor Authentication solution

Securing Government Contractors under CMMC with Phishing-resistant MFA

Enterprises have realized passwords are not secure enough to protect their data and information. However, they are struggling to get their workforce to move to passwordless once and for all. These adoption issues are often caused by the difficulty for users to issue, manage, and renew the various identity credentials required for passwordless. In many cases employees become discouraged and find workarounds in their security system instead of utilizing their credentials so they can remain productive.
 
Join cybersecurity experts Jerome Becquart, COO, Axiad, and Holger Schulze, CEO and Founder, Cybersecurity Insiders, to discuss why users will be more likely to adhere to security best practices if they are empowered to manage and renew their credentials without your IT team’s help. Learn how to successfully reach passwordless by putting users front and center:
 
- The current challenge of moving your workforce to passwordless authentication
- How remote and hybrid work have heightened these issues
- The impact of employees finding workarounds in your passwordless system
- Why a user-centric approach is the only way to break up with passwords for good

How to Break Up With Your Passwords Through User Empowerment

Passwords are not secure enough to protect essential business data and information – many enterprises are transitioning to passwordless authentication instead. However, this requires multiple identity credentials to secure all use cases which can be tedious for users to deploy and manage. Unless passwordless solutions put the user front and center, your business could be put at risk of cyberthreats. 
 
- What makes users the weakest link in your ecosystem as security becomes a barrier and is seen as a nuisance
- Why do enterprises need to choose solutions that empower users, limit friction, and reduce the work for IT teams
-	How to bring users on board with the enterprise's mission to become passwordless
-	How users are usually an afterthought when a solution is chosen and how it should be an integral part of the process of which solution is picked to sustain passwordless

What it takes to achieve complete passwordless

In today’s digital world, businesses are searching for ways to eliminate passwords and implement strong passwordless authentication across their use cases. IT leaders are looking to multi-factor authentication for many of their privileged and non-privileged users, such as hardware token or smartcards.  However, many applications still require passwords and need to be maintained by your system administrator. A strong PAM solution can act as the keys to your kingdom to ensure secure oversight for your privileged users and their credentials.
What do you need to consider when removing passwords and replacing them with MFA solutions? And which controls will you need in place for use cases that still need passwords? Join this discussion on today’s passwordless landscape with cybersecurity experts from Axiad and WALLIX. You’ll learn more about:

- Why you need to eliminate passwords from your infrastructure to ensure digital trust
- Which solutions can secure controlled, password-based access to IT resources for authorized users
- How to gain higher assurance by combining PAM and multi-factor authentication
- Why managing identity solutions in siloes could be detrimental to your IT team and end-users
