Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an essential component for strengthening modern identity and access management security.  However, the biggest challenge with MFA is the implementation: doing so without introducing friction to the end-user experience.    

Out-of-band authentication is a type of MFA that requires a secondary verification method through a separate communication channel. This practice makes hacking an account more difficult because two separate and unconnected authentication channels would have to be compromised for an attacker to gain access. 

While many organizations are opting for SMS or phone-based authentication methods to achieve this higher level of security, there are better alternatives to consider. We’ll take a hard look at the pros and cons of a wide variety of authentication methods, many of which provide much greater convenience and security than the typical phone-based approach.

Out-of-Band Authentication: What Is It and Why It’s Essential

With employees working from home and on the go, strong authentication becomes even more critical to confidently identify end-users when they are logging in from an unknown device or a new location. Even on-site shared workstations present the same concern on positively identifying which employee is currently using the machine. So what options are there to securely verify individual identities without hindering productivity?

BIO-key's WEB-key software has been deployed domestically and internationally for many years, and has been proven reliable, efficient, and secure for customers across both government and private institutions. BIO-key currently owns 11 patents on biometric matching algorithms and continues to provide Identity-Bound Biometric solutions for protecting customers’ resources in a range of challenging environments.

Beyond Device Authentication: Positively ID the Individual

With the rise in cyberattacks and the average cost of a breach up to $4.24M, almost every organization can benefit from some sort of Cyber Risk Insurance, also known as Cyber Liability Insurance Coverage (CLIC). However, with a 500% increase in ransomware claims in 2021 compared to 2020, cyber insurers are increasing their premiums and expectations of your cybersecurity program.  

Watch the on-demand webinar to learn about the:
⦿ Changes and trends for cyber insurance over the past 24 months 
⦿ Specific expectations insurers have for your cybersecurity program  
⦿ Cybersecurity controls BIO-key can help you implement for your next cyber insurance renewal 

To avoid non-renewals, reduced coverage, or a marked increase in your cyber insurance premiums, this is a session you won't want to miss!

Higher Expectations & Premiums: Navigating Your Next Cyber Insurance Renewal

Contextual Authentication, also known as risk-based or adaptive authentication, works behind the scenes to prevent unauthorized access and applies the appropriate level of authentication. 

Roaming users and remote access to confidential data are becoming a major security concern. In response, many organizations are over-steering towards rigid Two-Factor Authorization, which cannot adapt to different user scenarios, resulting in poor user adoption and increased frustration. 

Between security and usability comes contextual authentication (or context-based authentication), which applies the appropriate level of authentication based on the context around a user's access request, including location, time, device, network, and application. For example, employees in the office may only need to provide strong passwords, whereas a traveling salesperson must provide two factors. However, a traveling salesperson now in the office only needs to provide a password to prove his identity, due to his new situation when requesting access. 

Register for the webinar to learn more about the best practices for setting up a strong rule hierarchy to make contextual authentication work for you.

Contextual Authentication Configuration & User Segmentation

College of the Canyons: Frictionless Login & Solving IAM Security Challenges

Isn't it about time we find a different way to authenticate? There are so many options - passwords, OTPs, hardware tokens - yet traditional authentication methods are inconvenient, open to cyberattacks, expensive, and still can't verify "you are who you say you are".   To replace passwords, biometrics are a preferred option for passwordless approaches, but not all biometrics are created equal. User-controlled device-based biometrics lack integrity and availability, allowing for account sharing, unauthorized delegation, and SIM swapping.   Register for the webinar to see a different way to authenticate with BIO-key MobileAuth that's fast, touchless, secure, and available from any device.   You will learn how: - To lower your multi-factor authentication (MFA) costs - MobileAuth with PalmPositive uses a simple palm scan to secure access from any device - MobileAuth is perfect for multi-factor authentication & passwordless options for customers, students, remote workers, & privileged users - Identity-Bound Biometrics, like PalmPositive, offer the highest levels of integrity, availability, security, and accuracy

Although multi-factor authentication (MFA) is at the top of the NACo cybersecurity priorities and best practices list, many counties find that MFA implementation is not straightforward. MFA can be an overwhelming project, especially with limited resources. There is a lot to consider, including selecting the right authentication methods to keep your county secure, while making sure employees, suppliers and citizens will use them.  

Watch the webinar for a practical discussion on the path to go from passwords to MFA on every single account. You will learn about:
- How to assess your current strategy and create an implementation plan 
- Why stronger password controls may be a good starting point 
- Why a communication strategy is essential to help with user adoption 
- How to reduce time, costs, and workload during implementation

Whether you’re just starting to think about MFA or have already started implementation, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.

A Practical Path to MFA – How to Secure Every Single Account, One Step at a Time

College students can spend a lot of time trying to find resources and information from their campus portal. They want to quickly and securely search for grades, programs, financial resources and stay on top of upcoming social activities. Not being able to find what they’re looking for, they give up, turning to Google instead. Schools want to provide a welcoming place online as much as on the physical campus.

However, providing a unified student experience while safeguarding sensitive information is a challenge for IT teams who have limited resources and cybersecurity expertise.

Watch the webinar to learn about:
Implementing a modern campus portal experience that is pleasurable and safe to use
Enhancing cybersecurity to reduce the risk of cyber-attacks with multi-factor authentication that students will adopt
Going to a “blended” organization that leverages contractors, so the IT department does carry all the burden
Eliminating information silos by unifying enterprise systems

Unifying the Student Experience: Finding Resources Quickly & Securely

The increasing use of cloud-based applications, among other factors, has created an environment in which account takeovers and similar types of incursions are becoming much more common. This is where multi-factor authentication (MFA) comes into the picture. 

Join this live discussion to review the highlights from a recent in-depth MFA survey that had the goal of determining how organizations manage security, authentication, and related issues; and to determine decision makers’ attitudes toward various authentication methods including Zero Trust, passwordless approaches, and biometrics.

Listen in to hear survey results such as: 
- Decision-makers perceive hardware tokens, biometrics, and mobile authenticators as the most secure authentication methods.

- Only 29% of organizations have implemented passwordless authentication workflows for employees, but another 40% are planning to do so.

- The leading driver for implementing a zero-trust architecture is to prevent data breaches, cited by 84% of respondents as an important or extremely important reason for doing so.

- When selecting an Identity and Access Management Solution (IAM), the most important selection criteria are ease of use for end users, the ability to integrate the solution into the existing IT infrastructure, and flexibility to support corporate security policies.

The State of Multi-factor Authentication: Survey Highlights & Key Trends

As cyber threats continue to present a significant risk to commercial banks, many are rethinking and improving their authentication strategy. Even the FFIEC and OCC have updated their guidance on how Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or controls of equivalent strength can effectively mitigate inherent risks and prevent unauthorized access.
