Passwordless authentication in an era of remote working

In today’s enterprise journey to digital transformation, remote work is on the rise. Advancements in technology make it possible for employees to work from anywhere, but also introduce a new set of challenges for IT departments.

Simultaneously, organisations have been on a quest to find a way to provide secure access to business systems and protect sensitive information without putting a burden on users with complex security practices. With the FIDO2 open authentication standard, organisations are now able to provide the highest level of security and ensure a seamless user experience through passwordless authentication.

Join this session to find out how organisations are implementing strong authentication to protect their remote workforce from cyber threats without compromising on usability.
