WEBINAR: Passwordless Authentication - What are you waiting for?

Passwordless has become a popular buzzword in the cybersphere, promising better authentication security in many shapes and forms. But in reality, most solutions fall short of answering the real-world needs of enterprises, let alone break the age-old tension between good security and positive user experience. Can organizations truly eliminate passwords? Is the technology strong enough? Does it live up to the hype?

Watch an expert panel consisting of Ben Goodman, SVP, Global Business & Corporate Development, ForgeRock, Shimrit Tzur-David, CSO and Co-founder, Secret Double Octopus and Steve Giovannetti, CTO and Founder, Hub City Media discussing:

• Common challenges when implementing passwordless authentication in the enterprise — and how companies can address these

• Critical success factors for every passwordless solution

• Business benefits of a passwordless solution

• Is a passwordless solution more secure than traditional MFA?

• How to transition to a passwordless environment at your own pace

FIRESIDE CHAT: So you don't think you need ID Verification? Think Again.

Without an automated way to verify employee and customer identities, organizations are opening themselves up to various risks - social engineering, phishing attacks and human error.

“The Identity Verification that Onfido has today is a whole different world. We’re asking users to use their cell phone, take a picture of the front back of their driver’s license and take a selfie. ”

— Mickey Martin, Onfido

Working from home has also presented unique challenges that not everyone was addressing before. For example, with the acceleration of digital transformation with COVID-19, identity fraud is on the rise. The bar that constitutes 'easy' fraud is getting higher, and without the right approach in place, businesses will struggle to keep pace with both high quality and high volumes of attacks.

“I think the pandemic has definitely taught a lot of people that just onboarding a new employee these days could be made even more secure by using Identity Verification. What better use for that than initially establishing that first chain of trust?”

— Steve Giovannetti

ID Verification can seamlessly integrate to the on-boarding process, allowing users to create their digital identity, while also securing that they are the right person.

Watch Mickey Martin, Global Head of Sales Engineering at Onfido, and Steve Giovannetti, CTO and Founder of Hub City Media, discuss the value and benefits of incorporating ID Verification into your infrastructure.

Topics include:

• Account recovery and MFA re-registration

• Common use cases that required ID Verification

• Implementation best practices and requirements

ID Verification may be something that your organization has been putting off, or maybe something that you think you can survive without. Watch to find out how truly essential it is to the security of your data.

KuppingerCole, ForgeRock and Hub City Media Present: IAM Modernization

In this webinar, we dive into IAM Modernization with KuppingerCole and ForgeRock, and why it’s a necessity for organizations.

Application and infrastructure architectures are continuously changing in order to mirror the demands and challenges of modern organizational needs. A common problem with legacy systems is the inability to adapt to new business models in an ever-changing world.
