President Obama recently announced the launch of a new national awareness campaign to «encourage more Americans to move beyond passwords – adding an extra layer of security like a fingerprint or codes sent to your cellphone.» The shift from single passwords to multi-factor authentication couldn’t be timelier or more strategic. This session will focus on why passwords alone are no longer effective, and why the time to act is now.
In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Chris Webber, security strategist at Centrify, discussed how we can move away from passwords towards better, more secure methods of identity verification.
