$30 Million Round led by KDT and NEA to Fund Groundbreaking Innovation that Eliminates Passwords and Replaces them with a Chain of Trust™

Beyond Identity's Husnain Bajwa on why the need for secure authentication has become paramount as companies adapt to remote workforces and the use of personal devices.

Furthering the White House Cybersecurity EO, the OMB just released a Zero Trust Architecture Strategy with one of its 5 pillars focused on identity, and requiring implementation of strong, phishing-resistant MFA for agency and citizen access. This session explores the gatekeeper role of identity in ZTA, and the business and technology challenges faced in managing access while passwords persist.

“Antiquated authentication methods - be it passwords or traditional MFA - continue to put organisations at risk,” explains Jasson Casey, CTO at Beyond Identity.

Jasson Casey, CTO, Beyond Identity, explains how passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication significantly reduces risks that come with passwords, making it virtually impossible for attackers to gain access through traditional methods.

"The question for organizations now is when, not if, they move to passwordless and phishing-resistant MFA that finally shuts the door on all credential-based attacks," says Jasson Casey, CTO of Beyond Identity.

Beyond Identity today launches Zero Trust Authentication, developed in response to the failure of traditional authentication methods, includes components such as risk scoring and continuous authentication capabilities to significantly enhance the level of protection offered.
