About this event
The cybersecurity world witnessed major announcements and developments in the last few months:
- Microsoft announcing that all Windows 11 computers will use FIDO/WebAuthn (Windows Hello) authentication as the default authentication scheme from day one: https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/06/25/windows-11-enables-security-by-design-from-the-chip-to-the-cloud/;
- Apple announcing that they will use FIDO/WebAuthn (Passkey) across all their platforms: iPhones, iPads, Macs and MacBooks: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10106/; and
- All current operating systems (Android 9 or greater, iOS 14, macOS 11 and Windows 10) and all current versions of browsers (Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Opera) supporting passwordless FIDO/WebAuthn authentication out-of-the-box.
At no previous time in the history of public-key cryptography has there been so much support for one of the strongest authentication protocols across all major platforms. Now all that is required to eliminate passwords off the internet is for web and mobile applications to enable FIDO/WebAuthn.
What does this mean for companies? How do they prepare for this massive transition? How do they get started? What are the issues they need to be aware of?
This webinar will discuss these questions and touch on some of the implementation issues around FIDO, and provide guidance. Having a basic understanding of FIDO will be helpful since this will not be an introduction to FIDO. This FIDO Alliance site is recommended for a basic introduction: https://loginwithfido.com. Significant detail is available at https://fidoalliance.org
