Centrify Webinar: Stronger Authentication through FIDO U2F
December 12, 2017 11:00am PT
81% of breaches involve weak, default or stolen passwords*, validating that the vast majority of data breaches have occurred through compromised authentication. That’s why multi-factor authentication (MFA) has become essential to all businesses and provides an additional layer of security. FIDO U2F (Universal 2nd Factor), the new standard for MFA, is designed to simplify the deployment and usage of strong authentication typically provided by Smart Cards without all the hassle.
You will learn:
• Why FIDO U2F is becoming the new standard for MFA, providing stronger security and better privacy
• An overview of the NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, specifically how FIDO U2F achieves Authentication Assurance Level 3 (AAL3) – highest level of authentication
• Various options to deploy YubiKeys for strong authentication for cloud applications and infrastructure, including OTP, single factor and multi-factor cryptographic modes (i.e. OATH, FIDO U2F, and PKI)
