Seamless authentication and continuous access to online resources has been an elusive target. While many have tried, few have been able to achieve it. The ones who claim success have built it on proprietary protocols and niche implementations that only address a small spectrum of digital security industry. In this talk we describe Continuous Access and Evaluation Protocol (CAEP), a new approach to cybersecurity using a user’s complete online footprint collected through a collaborative exchange of events and signals between multiple parties. CAEP was started by Google, and now has support of many key players in identity and security industry including Microsoft, Cisco, SailPoint, Amazon, Ping and Thales. We will explain how CAEP can help deliver Zero Trust by providing signals and events as input to machine learning capabilities, and thereby address current challenges around continuous access to online resources.
