As we look toward a future consumed by a growing number of data breaches, killing the password will make us more secure. Join this session to hear from Yubico and Netflix to learn why passwords must die and how to make current authentication methods stronger. As a core contributor to the new open authentication standards allowing for passwordless login, FIDO2 and WebAuthn, Yubico will provide an overview of these standards including the modern cryptography advancements bridging the gap between usability and security. Netflix will highlight what is required for enterprises to enter this passwordless future, and how to make the transition without compromising on user experience. As a cloud-first company that is heavily reliant on both internal and external workforces, the identity landscape at Netflix requires a sophisticated and unique approach. Employees, contractors, and other external business stakeholders such as studio or media partners require seamless, secure access to Netflix’s sensitive resources. To this, killing the password is key. Learn how the implementation of FIDO strong authentication is preparing Netflix for the rapid growth of these B2B use-cases, and what user considerations, challenges, and lessons have been encountered along the way.
