Webinar: How to leverage passwordless authentication to improve the security of the enterprise ecosystem?

Interview with Domagoj Ciković – Product manager for ASEE security solutions.

Are enterprises generally aware of the concept of passwordless authentication?

The correct answer is, it depends on the specific enterprise and its level of awareness and adoption of modern authentication practices. In recent years, there has been growing awareness and discussions surrounding the concept of passwordless authentication within the cybersecurity community. Major technology companies and industry leaders have been promoting the idea of moving away from traditional password-based authentication methods towards more secure and user-friendly alternatives. As a result, some enterprises that actively stay informed about advancements in authentication are indeed aware of the concept and its potential benefits.

However, it's important to note that the pace of technology adoption varies across different industries and organizations. While some enterprises may be well-informed and have implemented passwordless authentication solutions, others may still rely on traditional username and password systems. Factors such as organizational size, industry regulations, legacy systems, and security concerns can influence an enterprise's awareness and readiness to adopt passwordless authentication. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the specific enterprise's context and security practices to determine their level of awareness regarding passwordless authentication.

What are the potential vulnerabilities associated with relying solely on passwords for accessing enterprise services?

Relying solely on passwords for accessing enterprise services can expose organizations to several potential vulnerabilities. Firstly, passwords are susceptible to being compromised through various means, such as phishing attacks, brute-force attacks, or social engineering. If an attacker gains unauthorized access to an employee's password, they can potentially impersonate the user and gain entry to sensitive systems or data.

Secondly, passwords are often reused across different platforms or services, which further increases the risk of a security breach. If an employee uses the same password for both their work account and a personal online account, a security breach in the personal account could lead to unauthorized access to the enterprise services as well.

Additionally, passwords can be weak if not enforced with strong security policies. Users often choose simple and easily guessable passwords, making them vulnerable to dictionary attacks. Moreover, passwords can be intercepted during transmission if not adequately protected with encryption, allowing attackers to capture sensitive login credentials.

Overall, relying solely on passwords for accessing enterprise services can leave organizations vulnerable to password-related attacks and unauthorized access. It is crucial for enterprises to implement additional security measures such as multi-factor authentication, password policies, and user education to mitigate these vulnerabilities and enhance overall security.

As you are organizing a webinar on this particular topic, what can attendees expect from the event?

Attendees can expect to hear about trends and threats that are happening on the market with real-life examples related to the security breaches caused by the misuse of static passwords. On the one hand, there are risks of using static passwords, and on the other hand, there are several solutions that can improve an enterprise's security and zero-trust environment. The goal of the webinar is to raise awareness about security risks related to passwords and introduce new ways of authentication - passwordless authentication.
