Security Outcomes for Zero Trust: Adoption, Access, and Automation Trends

Cisco — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 13:30:28 +0000

At Cisco, we believe the promise of a zero trust security strategy should be securing access in a way that frustrates attackers and not users. Zero trust is not a new concept. But today’s rise in adoption reflects a fast-changing reality – boundaries that once existed to secure access to corporate data no longer exist. Business leaders adopting zero trust security are making progress towards building security resilience into their organizations. Despite some confusion over how to implement zero trust principles, many enterprises have made progress with material rewards as proof.

So, what are the secrets of their success?

The State of Passwordless in the Enterprise Webinar

Cisco — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 12:48:58 +0000

76% of organizations experienced multiple account or credential compromises over the past 12 months, according to ESG’s 2023 research about the state of passwordless authentication in enterprise organizations. Recent prominent MFA-based breaches and friction in the end-user experience have reached the ears of IT and cybersecurity leadership. Now, IT security professionals are looking to address these risks by evaluating phishing-resistant and passwordless authentication methods but lack clarity on the uses cases this technology fulfills.

Join this engaging discussion with Cisco Duo Product Marketer Matt Brooks and ESG Senior Analyst Jack Poller as they unpack the research findings to understand the evolution of multi-factor authentication and passwordless technologies, and how IT security professionals are responding to the changing threats landscape.

You will walk away from this session with a deeper understanding of:

Risks and challenges of MFA and password-based authentication
Pitfalls and struggles of migrating to passwordless authentication
Passwordless authentication methods and best-fit use cases to adopt them

How to Prevent Attacks that Bypass MFA Webinar

Cisco — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 12:24:32 +0000

The usual first step in establishing a zero trust environment is to deploy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to control access to applications and services. MFA is popular because its protections — which combine what users know (such as a password) with something they have (a token or mobile phone) — make it hard for cybercriminals to gain access to applications and data. But MFA’s widespread use of mobile authenticators and push notifications has made MFA environments themselves a target of hackers. Attackers are increasingly using MFA Fatigue (or prompt bombing) to wear down a user’s patience and diligence with repeated fake MFA prompts, only to ultimately pose as a helpful IT support person who needs the user’s credentials to clear those nuisance alerts up. And then they’re in.

Fortunately, there are ways to defend against these attacks. MFA authentication is effective — but only if it’s properly protected. Knowing how to outsmart attacks designed to bypass MFA is as critical as deploying MFA itself. Watch this on-demand webinar to hear directly from an in-the-field researcher how to strengthen authentication to prevent attacks that try to bypass MFA. You’ll leave with proven best practices and new knowledge about where your MFA gaps may be — and how to fill them.

Two-Factor Authentication Evaluation Guide

Cisco — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 12:16:20 +0000

In this guide, you will learn how to evaluate a solution based on:

Security Impact – Does the solution reduce risks, and can it provide visibility into your environment?
Strategic Business Initiatives – Does the solution support cloud, mobile and BYOD initiatives? Can it fulfill compliance?
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – Does the solution provide more upfront value, or more hidden costs?
Resources Required – Can your staff deploy and maintain the solution, or will you need to hire more personnel or contractors?

Why Single Sign-On (SSO) Webinar?

Cisco — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 12:09:26 +0000

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an important aspect of access management, which includes Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), SSO, and user and device posture policies for today’s hybrid workforce. With Single Sign-On, end users only need a single set of credentials to log into multiple websites and applications, both cloud and on-premises. This makes life easier for users since they don’t have to remember multiple passwords and provides administrators a centralized way to manage all accounts and govern which users have access to them.
