Protecting against employee and customer account takeover is an imperative for all organizations. Gain strategic insights in effectively choosing user authentication methods and providers that offer the fundamental identity security control you need to significantly mitigate account takeover and other identity risks, while reducing fraud and addressing regulatory requirements.

A sample of recommended sessions include:

• Ask the Expert: User Authentication

Eliminating login passwords can improve both user experience and security, but passwordless authentication is not a discrete technology or a distinct market. Security and risk management leaders responsible for identity and access management (IAM) must carefully identify their objectives and options to prioritize time to value along the path to a passwordless future.

Key findings

• IAM leaders seeking to eliminate passwords are often uncertain of what passwordless authentication should actually look like.
• IAM leaders are often put off by the prospect of investing in novel technologies — unaware of the passwordless methods and flows that are available in incumbent tools — or by the lack of a universal approach.
• While passwordless methods, especially those based on FIDO2, are widely available, they are not yet universally supported or adopted. Thus, universal passwordless authentication remains tantalizingly on the horizon.
