When you think of using biometric technology as part of your multi-factor authentication process, you assume these attributes are safe. Cybercriminals can’t hack your fingerprints, can they? The answer may surprise you!
Biometric attributes aren’t as safe as they once were. Cybercriminals are always coming up...
Uncovering the anatomy of biometric attacks is vital to understanding risk and ensuring adaptive and resilient security is employed in accordance to the activity carried out. It is also essential in the development of evidence-based regulations and standards.
In the first of its kind, the iProov Biometric Threat...
The digital injection of synthetic imagery – otherwise known as deepfakes – is now the top threat to facial biometric systems. It is imperative to note that not all liveness providers are able to detect these attacks, nor are there benchmark testing or accreditations for digital injection attacks. Presentation...
Payment regulations in Europe have forced retailers to implement strong authentication that's phishing-resistant and facilitates more customer understanding, says FIDO Alliance's Christina Hulka. This has spurred a push for clients to confirm what they're purchasing and how much they wish to spend.
Artificial intelligence-driven technology purporting to recognize human emotional states "may not work yet, or indeed ever," said U.K. Deputy Information Commissioner Stephen Bonner. The office predicts greater commercial use of behavioral analysis in products over the next two to three years.
Organizations can improve security with modern authentication protocols, but the big message to the marketplace is that FIDO Passkeys give customers more convenience and deliver a consistent user experience, according to panelists on the final day of FIDO Alliance's Authenticate 2022 Conference.
Multifactor authentication needs to move away from one-time passwords sent via text message and embrace modern standards that prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Plus, excessive identity challenges online lead to 20% of e-commerce transactions being abandoned, say experts at Authenticate 2022.
Passwords are supported everywhere. But, says Andrew Shikiar, executive director of the FIDO Alliance, "they have been proven time and time again to simply be unfit for today's networked economy." In this episode of "Cybersecurity Unplugged," Shikiar discusses how to move beyond passwords.
The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is warning lenders they can be liable for data breaches for causing consumers "substantial injury." To avoid liability, the bureau recommends that banks implement multifactor authentication and especially Web Authentication.
Token selected former OneSpan CRO John Gunn as CEO to scale the organization and prepare its wearable authentication ring for large-scale production. Gunn is tasked with sourcing the critical components needed to manufacture the ring and building a base of paying clients for the biometric tool.
