Senior Security Architect - IAM Highmark Health, United States
Explore the cutting-edge advancements in passwordless technologies beyond FIDO2 keys. This presentation delves into innovative methods such as biometric authentication, including facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, as well as mobile-based authentication using secure tokens and push notifications. Additionally, discover the integration of hardware security modules (HSMs) for enhanced protection, and the use of Windows Hello and passkeys for seamless access. Learn how workload identity federation, SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), and other advanced technologies, along with solving for secret zero, provide secure access while reducing the risks associated with traditional passwords.
Learning Objectives:
Security does not equal additional friction. Seamless user experience can be achieved when using the right technologies to minimize the use of passwords. This improves both security and convenience.
Understand how to address for the secret zero problem enhances overall security by eliminating the need for initial shared secrets
Learn different ways to enhance machine authentication using newer technologies such as workload identity federation.
