About the Session
In the rapidly shifting dynamics of cybersecurity threats, the necessity for authentication mechanisms that can withstand current threats while remaining adaptable has become paramount. The emergence of passkeys as a contemporary framework for authentication introduces a paradigm shift in how organizations secure their sensitive information. However, the adoption of passkeys is often met with a degree of confusion regarding their advantages and potential drawbacks.
This talk will explain the challenges and benefits of using passkeys in high security markets, and will help to make clear how passkeys can enhance and even replace current authentication methods.
The session will include Rolf's talk plus a Q&A, followed by an open discussion where cybersecurity executives can raise topics of immediate concern.
