Passwords have failed, so what's next?
Password security is one of the most important issues facing information security today, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) technology mitigates the risk of password-only security today when providing access to corporate networks. But unfortunately, traditional MFA...
Passwords are no longer sufficient to secure logins, with 81% of breaches involving weak or stolen passwords. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) protects users from attacks by ensuring that only the intended, authorized users can access critical, secure information.

Every industry is vulnerable to breaches - and more often than not, weak or stolen passwords are the culprit of confirmed data breaches. That shows that many attacks are relying on tried-and-true methods, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. Despite the growing capacity to detect known threats, user credentialing...
Password isn't a four-letter word, but for security leaders it is just as cringe-worthy.
