Hacker-proof MFA including hardware-based authenticators
Wednesday, 1:30 PM CDT - GALLERY
Zero Trust Security and Authentication is on most CISOs, CTOs and architects top 10 'must do' lists and for good cause! Everywhere you read about bad actors, phishing and ransomware attacks with ever increasing frequency. Join us to learn how to implement one of the safest, most hacker-proof means of authenticating your users available today: Hardware-based authenticators!
Hardware based authenticators include security keys as well as device-resident bio-authenticators such as TouchId and Windows Hello. In this presentation, we will explore these devices, how they are accessed, managed and used to provide virtually hacker-proof authentication in modern web applications. We will discuss the current industry standards and specs which govern these devices and their use including FIDO and WebAuthn.
