Improving Enterprise Authentication: Taming the Password Beast

Many enterprises have implemented some basic methods for managing user authentication to sensitive data, and some have even mastered the “single sign-on” problem for data access. But today’s IT environment increasingly involves a wide range of user devices and locations, including mobile equipment, cloud services, and even Internet of Things devices. In this Dark Reading webinar, top experts will discuss emerging methods for solving the authentication problem, and for building authentication strategies that go beyond the enterprise premises.

On Demand
Duration:
1h 00min

Attend this webinar and you'll learn:

  • what essential questions you must ask yourself and your service providers, before designing an authentication strategy for your business
  • why the FIDO2 / WebAuthn standard shifts authentication paradigms and might support your identity and access management strategy
  • how to support better security and lower friction for both internal and external users
  • what to consider now if you want your authentication strategy to stand the test of time (and whether passwords should be part of the long-term plan)
