Zero-factor authentication: when everything goes wrong at once
Every security system relies on some form of authentication. Traditionally, this involves passwords, bolstered by additional layers such as tokens, apps, or biometric identifiers like fingerprints. Nowadays, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is widely used to enhance security. However, even MFA isn't infallible. Passwords can be phished or cracked, rogue secondary factors can be injected, and fingerprints can be replicated through sophisticated means like 3D printing. Learn how precise configuration and comprehensive user education can help avoid potentially disastrous errors that could compromise entire systems.
Modern Password Strategies
Authentication is essential in securing any user’s digital identity as well as their systems and data. The use of passwords has long been the established norm, but the potential security level they provide in theory is unfortunately rarely achieved in practice. Conventional authentication methods increasingly show vulnerabilities and are therefore often the starting point for cyber incidents that can inflict devastating harm on business operations. Previous methods are no longer adequate or sufficient. The future of securing user authentication requires additional measures that can match the rapid pace of technological advancements and innovations in society. We will explain how biometric authentication, especially behavioural authentication, can not only safeguard each user's digital identity but also, achieve this without the increasing effort and complexity associated with traditional methods.
