Welcome to the Fraudian Slip…the Identity Theft Resource Center's podcast, where we talk about all things identity compromise, crime, and fraud that impact people and businesses. Typically, on this podcast, we'd introduce a topic, a guest expert, and our CEO, Eva Velasquez. This month, we're listening in on “Identity Crimes Suck. So What Can We Do About it in an Era of Deregulation and Smaller Government?”, a special panel from the Identity, Authentication, and the Road Ahead Cybersecurity Policy Forum last month hosted by the Better Identity Coalition, the FIDO Alliance and the ITRC. Guests on the panel include Kemba Walden, President of Paladin Global Institute; John Breyault, Vice President of Public Policy, Telecommunications, and Fraud at the National Consumers League; Dan Lips, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity; and the moderator, ITRC President, James E. Lee. Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/idtheftcenter/ Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/IDTheftCenter

With phishing and password breaches on the rise, passkeys could offer a more secure, user-friendly solution that could reshape how we protect our online identities. Today's guest is Christiaan Brand. Christiaan is the co-founder of Entersekt, a financial services security firm and a key player at Google in their security and identity teams.  A respected voice in cybersecurity, Christian co-chairs the FIDO2 technical working group focusing on standardizing robust online security protocols in advancing the use of passkeys. He has been at the forefront of the shift toward more secure, password-free systems. We'll hear his insights on the challenges and opportunities of implementing passkeys to create safer online environments for users and organizations. Show Notes: [00:52] - Christiaan is part of the security team for Google accounts. He's been with Google for 9 years. Prior to that he had a startup. [01:30] - He joined the FIDO Alliance around the same time Google joined in 2013. When he joined Google, he was able to continue with the same type of work. [02:35] - Each of the big tech companies represents a portion of the market when it comes to how we interact with the web and apps. [04:06] - He became interested in security when he started thinking about what could go wrong with new technology solutions. He wanted users to be able to access their financial information in a safe and secure way. [05:06] - 2FA began gaining traction with Google in 2011. It coincided with the launch of Google Authenticator. 2FA was also used by a gaming company. [07:54] - Usability is important, that's why having an app that displays the codes was one of the first forays into making the technology more accessible. [08:34] - Passkeys allow us to move beyond passwords, leaving the extra hassle of traditional multi-factor authentication behind. [11:05] - Key fobs were one of the earlier ways to try and bring usability to security. Now the technology is being moved to smartphones. [12:33] - Passkeys are a replacement for a password manager. [13:35] - Passkeys are extremely long and asymmetric in nature. You and the site you're going to both have the passkey. [14:27] - The service will have the public part of the passkey, and you'll have the private part. Even if the public part leaks out, your passkey will still be secure. Passkeys can never be revealed to phishing sites. [15:47] - FIDO brings the second authentication step in. The service also has to identify themselves. [20:04] - Password managers try to balance security and convenience. Logging in or accessing a passkey is a unique challenge for providers. [22:20] - Phone numbers are a way to get users back into their accounts. [25:19] - Single device users have extra challenges. [26:08] - There are pros and cons to external sources of identity. [29:44] - The FIDO website has many certified solutions. [33:21] - To get passkeys into daily users' lives, we need to start using them on daily applications where we log in frequently. [35:49] - Hopefully this passkey solution will stand the test of time. [37:34] - Attacks are beginning to shift to session hijacking. [38:24] - DBSC or device-based session credentials is a new standard parallel to FIDO. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

For our second year now, Mike Privette, from Return on Security and the Security, Funded newsletter joins us to discuss the year's highlights and what's to come in the next 12 months. In some ways, it has been a return to form for funding, though some casualties of a tough market likely had to seek acquisition when they might have otherwise raised another round and stayed independent a while longer. We'll cover some stats, talk 2025 IPO market, and discuss the likelihood of (already) being in another bubble, particularly with regards to the already saturated AI security market. It won't be all financial trends though, we'll discuss some of the technical market trends, whether they're finding market fit, and how ~50ish AI SOC startups could possibly survive in such a crowded space. In this segment, we discuss two new FIDO Alliance standards focused on credential portability. Specifically, if passwordless is going to catch on, we need to minimize friction and maximize usability. In practice, this means that passkeys must be portable! Rew Islam of Dashlane joins us to discuss the new standards and how they'll help us enter a new age of secure authentication, both for consumers and the enterprise.

A recent MIT report revealing that 78% of businesses face challenges in AI adoption due to weak data foundations. Despite high aspirations for AI, such as enhancing efficiency and fostering innovation, only a small percentage of business leaders feel adequately prepared to engage with AI technologies. The report highlights that data governance and quality are significant obstacles, emphasizing the need for organizations to address underlying data issues before embarking on AI projects.The episode also covers the FIDO Alliance's announcement at the Authenticate conference regarding the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP), which aims to make passkeys portable across different digital ecosystems. This initiative, supported by major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, seeks to standardize secure transfer processes for passkeys, reducing concerns over vendor lock-in. The growing acceptance of passwordless technology is underscored by Amazon's report of over 175 million customers activating passkeys, indicating a shift towards more secure digital practices.Host Dave Sobel contrasts the approaches of OpenAI and Anthropic in the realm of AI development. OpenAI's new O1 model family focuses on structured prompt generation for efficiency and accuracy, while Anthropic emphasizes a more conversational and engaging AI experience. This divergence in methodologies reflects the differing priorities of the two companies, with OpenAI aiming for structured outputs and Anthropic fostering a personable interaction style. Additionally, a study by Apple researchers reveals limitations in mathematical reasoning within large language models, stressing the importance of human oversight in decision-making processes.Finally, the episode highlights the need for organizations to modernize their cybersecurity strategies by adopting an identity-centric zero trust model. As hybrid work environments and AI technologies challenge traditional security practices, a zero-trust approach ensures that all access requests are verified, protecting sensitive resources from unauthorized access. Sobel also discusses the importance of fostering AI experimentation within organizations to bridge the gap between individual productivity gains and overall performance, encouraging a cultural shift towards embracing AI as an integral part of business strategy. Four things to know today00:00 78% of Businesses Struggle with AI Adoption Due to Weak Data Foundations, Says MIT Report02:12 FIDO Alliance Unveils New Protocol to Make Passkeys Portable Across Platforms03:56 OpenAI's Structured AI vs. Anthropic's Conversational AI: What It Means for Business Efficiency06:23 Why AI Experimentation and Zero-Trust Security Are the Future of Organizational Strategy   Supported by:  https://mspradio.com/engage/ Event: www.smbTechFest.com/Go/Sobel  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Are you ready for passkeys? Richard talks to Tarek Dawoud from Microsoft about the evolution of passwordless access with passkeys. Tarek talks about the FIDO alliance and the ongoing effort to create authentication strategies that are mathematically impossible to phish - no password stuffing under the covers that might get exploited by a man-in-the-middle attack. The conversation also dives into the passkeys name and how it's a rebranding of passwordless authentication to make it easier for everyone to understand that you'd rather have a passkey than a password. The products involved are still evolving, but there's plenty you can take advantage of today and make your organization more phishing-resistant than ever!LinksFido AllianceYubicoWindows Hello for BusinessMicrosoft Digital Defense Report 2023Accenture Passwordless JourneyConditional AccessTemporary Access PassEnable Passkeys For Your OrganizationWeb AuthenCTAPMicrosoft Password GuidanceRecorded June 3, 2024
