Has your organization jumped on the passwordless authentication bandwagon yet? If not, it should. Passwordless authentication embraces possession factors, such as certificates and hardware tokens, and inherence factors, such as fingerprints and face scans, to replace legacy password and single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods. It also strengthens your organization’s security posture while improving the user experience for accessing company applications and data. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews modern passwordless authentication technologies and the benefits organizations have achieved by implementing them.
