Employee And Customer Authentication Are Morphing — Again

In the quest to pin down users' identities when they come calling, a lot of technology management pros have tried a lot of different approaches. In this webinar we discuss our latest research on the state of the authentication solution market, including: the seven trends and the three generations of authentication that are responding to the need for a Zero Trust security posture; how solutions stack up against 26 usability, deployability, and security criteria; and whether it will ever be possible to "kill the password."

Agenda:

• Tech management pros are struggling mightily with the usability-security tradeoffs in authentication.
• Hardcore security solutions are giving way to Zero-Trust-ready authentication.
• To get out of zero-sum thinking, consider seven trends and three generations.

Key takeaways:

• New solutions are tackling challenges across all four authentication stages.
• Think in terms of "responsive design" for authentication.
• It's no longer possible to overlook usability in authentication processes.
• Biometrics are becoming a lot more interesting but aren't a panacea.
