Adieu les codes : Comment la biométrie comportementale va tuer le mot de passe en 2026 Par Régis BAUDOUIN Se souvenir d’une majuscule, d’un chiffre, d’un caractère spécial, et changer le tout tous les trois mois… Cette corvée mentale, vestige des débuts de l’informatique, vit ses toutes dernières heures. En ce mois de juin 2026, le déploiement mondial des standards de connexion de nouvelle génération marque une bascule historique. Menée par l’alliance des géants de la tech, la sécurité ne repose plus sur ce que vous connaissez (un mot de passe), ni même uniquement sur ce que vous êtes (votre empreinte digitale), mais sur la façon dont vous vous comportez. Bienvenue dans l'ère de la biométrie comportementale décentralisée. Le coût de l’oubli : Selon les dernières données du cabinet Gartner, les demandes de réinitialisation de mots de passe représentent encore 20% à 30% de l’ensemble des tickets d’assistance informatique en entreprise, pour un coût moyen estimé à 15€ par intervention. Comment votre téléphone sait que c'est vous La biométrie traditionnelle (Iris, FaceID, empreinte) cartographie des caractéristiques physiques figées. La biométrie comportementale, elle, analyse la dynamique de vos actions en temps réel. C'est une science algorithmique qui transforme vos habitudes inconscientes en une signature mathématique unique. Lorsque vous saisissez votre smartphone, plusieurs dizaines de capteurs physiques s’activent en arrière-plan : L'accéléromètre et le gyroscope : Ils mesurent l’angle exact et la micro-oscillation de votre main. Le capteur de pression tactile : Il évalue la surface de contact de votre pouce et la force exercée sur la dalle en verre. Le rythme de frappe : L’algorithme calcule au millième de seconde près le temps de pression sur chaque touche et l’intervalle de transition entre deux lettres. Les publications de la IEEE Biometrics Council démontrent qu’en analysant seulement 30 à 40 frappes consécutives, un algorithme de notation comportementale atteint un taux de précision supérieur à 99% pour identifier le véritable propriétaire de l’appareil. Pour l’Intelligence Artificielle locale de votre téléphone, votre manière de taper ou de balayer votre fil d’actualité est aussi unique qu’une empreinte génétique. Si un tiers subtilise votre téléphone déverrouillé, le système détecte le changement de rythme en moins de 1,5 seconde et reverrouille l’appareil automatiquement. Source Le standard Passkeys 2.0 de l’alliance FIDO La question légitime que pose une telle innovation est celle de la vie privée. Hors de question que nos rythmes de frappe ou nos données de marche soient envoyés sur des serveurs Cloud pour y être analysés. C’est ici que la prouesse technique prend tout son sens : tout reste en local. Cette révolution s’appuie sur l’évolution des Passkeys, un protocole mondial développé par la FIDO Alliance. Les statistiques d’adoption de la FIDO Alliance pour 2026 révèlent que plus de 12 milliards de comptes en ligne dans le monde supportent désormais cette technologie. Métrique de SécuritéMots de Passe ClassiquesPasskeys + Biométrie ComportementaleSensibilité au Phishing (Hameçonnage)100% (Vulnérable)0% (Immunisé)Temps moyen de connexion~15 secondes~2,5 secondesTaux d’échec à l’authentification~14% (Erreurs de saisie)Moins de 0,5% Le principe repose sur la cryptographie asymétrique. Lorsque vous créez un compte, votre téléphone génère une paire de clés : une clé publique émise au site internet, et une clé privée, jalousement gardée dans l’enclave matérielle sécurisée de votre processeur (le Secure Element). La biométrie comportementale sert uniquement de déclencheur physique pour “libérer” cette clé privée locale. Le site distant ne reçoit jamais vos données comportementales ; il reçoit simplement une validation mathématique. Focus sur les Passkey Le principe fondamental d’un Passkey est qu’il n’existe aucun secret partagé entre vous et le service en ligne (Netflix, votre banque, Amazon). Contrairement à un mot de passe classique, qui est stocké sur les serveurs de l’entreprise (et donc vulnérable aux fuites de données), le Passkey sépare la sécurité en deux éléments mathématiques distincts et indissociables. [ Votre Appareil ] [ Serveur Web ] Clé Privée (Secrète) ── Chiffre le défi ──> Clé Publique (Connue) (Reste dans le SE) (Ne sert qu'à vérifier) Comment se déroule une connexion passkey ? 1.La génération de la paire de clés :Lors de l’inscription. Le gestionnaire de Passkeys de votre appareil génère une clé privée (qui reste enfermée dans la puce physique sécurisée de votre téléphone) et une clé publique (qui est envoyée au serveur du site). 2.L’envoi du défi (Challenge) :Lors de la connexion. Lorsque vous voulez vous connecter, le site web envoie un “défi” (un message aléatoire chiffré) à votre appareil. 3.Le déverrouillage biométrique :Validation locale. Votre appareil vous demande de valider votre identité (via FaceID, empreinte ou la fameuse biométrie comportementale). Cette action locale sert d’autorisation pour réveiller la clé privée. 4.La signature mathématique :Finalisation. La clé privée signe le défi envoyé par le site et renvoie la réponse. Le serveur utilise votre clé publique pour vérifier la signature. Si le calcul correspond, vous êtes connecté. Aucun mot de passe n’a voyagé sur le réseau. Les deux grandes familles de solutions Passkeys L’écosystème de 2026 se divise en deux approches techniques pour gérer ces clés cryptographiques. Elles répondent à des besoins de mobilité ou de sécurité informatique différents. 1. Les Passkeys Synchronisés (Multi-appareils / Synced Passkeys) C’est la solution grand public par excellence, intégrée nativement dans nos systèmes d’exploitation. La clé privée est stockée dans le trousseau Cloud du constructeur (Apple iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, Microsoft Account). Le fonctionnement : Si vous créez un Passkey sur votre iPhone, il est automatiquement disponible sur votre Mac ou votre iPad via iCloud. Le mécanisme de secours : Si vous perdez votre smartphone, vos Passkeys ne sont pas perdus : ils sont restaurés dès que vous vous reconnectez à votre compte cloud principal avec une authentification forte. Le cas du cross-platform : Si vous êtes sur un PC Windows et voulez vous connecter à un site avec le Passkey de votre iPhone, le PC affiche un QR Code. Votre iPhone le scanne, vérifie via une liaison Bluetooth de proximité que les deux appareils sont dans la même pièce, et valide la connexion. 2. Les Passkeys Matériels Liés (Single-device / Hardware-bound Passkeys) Cette approche est privilégiée par les entreprises, les banques ou les profils à haute visibilité (journalistes, politiciens). La clé privée est générée à l’intérieur d’un composant matériel dont elle ne pourra jamais sortir, interdisant toute copie dans le cloud. Les clés de sécurité physiques : Les clés USB/NFC (comme les YubiKeys de Yubico) matérialisent ce principe. La clé privée est scellée dans la puce de l’objet. Pour se connecter, il faut impérativement insérer la clé ou la badger contre son téléphone. Le niveau de sécurité supérieur : Même si votre compte iCloud ou Google est piraté, personne ne peut voler vos Passkeys matériels car ils n’existent nulle part sur internet. Les acteurs du marché des passkey en 2026 Le marché des solutions s’est considérablement structuré autour de trois grands types d’acteurs : Les natifs (Les OS) : Apple, Google et Microsoft fournissent l’infrastructure de base gratuite. C’est transparent pour l’utilisateur mais cela tend à verrouiller ce dernier dans leur écosystème respectif. Les gestionnaires indépendants (Cross-platform) : Des logiciels comme 1Password, Dashlane ou l’alternative open-source Bitwarden permettent de stocker et de synchroniser vos Passkeys de manière agnostique (fonctionne aussi bien entre un téléphone Android et un navigateur Safari sur Mac). Les solutions d’infrastructure (B2B) : Des plateformes comme Okta ou Ping Identity déploient ces architectures au sein des réseaux d’entreprises pour supprimer définitivement le risque de piratage interne. Le Passkey résout définitivement la faille numéro un de la sécurité informatique : l’erreur humaine. Un algorithme ne peut pas se faire berner par un faux site d’hameçonnage (phishing), car la clé publique est mathématiquement liée au nom de domaine exact du site. Si l’URL change d’une seule lettre, l’appareil refuse tout simplement de signer le défi. Sécurité absolue et friction zéro Pour l’utilisateur comme pour l’économie numérique, les bénéfices de cette numérisation invisible de la sécurité sont colossaux. Immunité totale contre le Phishing : Le rapport annuel de Verizon sur les fuites de données rappelle que 74% des cyberattaques impliquent encore un facteur humain (vol d’identifiants ou ingénierie sociale). N’ayant plus de mot de passe à taper, vous ne pouvez plus vous le faire voler par un faux email ou un site miroir. L’accessibilité universelle : Pour les personnes âgées ou en situation de handicap, la fin des barrières de saisie de codes complexes supprime la principale cause de l’exclusion numérique. La rentabilité pour les plateformes : Les géants du e-commerce constatent déjà une hausse de 5% à 7% des taux de conversion lors de l’étape de paiement depuis que les processus d’authentification contraignants ont été remplacés par la validation passive en arrière-plan. L’authentification invisible Le mot de passe était une anomalie ergonomique, une interface artificielle qui forçait l’humain à parler le langage de la machine. En 2026, la technologie est enfin devenue assez mature pour s’adapter à l’humain. En observant nos mouvements et nos rythmes sans jamais les trahir, nos appareils transforment nos gestes du quotidien en la plus sûre des clés. La haute sécurité n’est plus une contrainte, elle est devenue une seconde nature.

Jim McDonald sits down with Greg Handrick, Director of IAM at Best Buy, for a wide-ranging conversation on running enterprise identity at one of America's largest consumer electronics retailers. Greg traces a nonlinear career path from Oracle DBA and Novell administrator to IAM director.

Our featured guest this month is CJ Cox, COO of Black Hills Information Security, interviewed by Frank Victory. News from City of Denver, Block, Zvelo, Lares, FusionAuth, RADICL, Ping Identity, Red Canary and a lot more! We often talk about cybersecurity as a series of technical hurdles, but CJ frames it through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. At the bottom? Paying the mortgage and surviving the 4th-quarter burnout. At the top? Self-actualization. Doing great work with cool people. But here's the kicker: CJ argues that real security doesn't come from the name on your badge or the company you work for. It comes from your internal capability to learn and adapt. We're experimenting with a new, long-form format on the podcast to explore these "human" elements of the industry—the leadership, the culture, and the "why" behind the "how."Check out the full episode where we discuss: Why BHIS says "No" to multi-million dollar buyouts.

As of 2025, women represent just 24% of the global cybersecurity workforce, with figures in Asia lagging behind at under 20%—a stark reminder of the persistent gender gap in one of the world's most critical and fast-evolving sectors. Yet this imbalance also signals immense untapped potential. Across Singapore, India, Japan, and beyond, women professionals are increasingly stepping into roles as threat analysts, chief information security officers, cyber policy advisors, and entrepreneurs—bringing diverse perspectives that strengthen organisational resilience and innovation. While cultural barriers, limited mentorship, and structural inequities remain, targeted initiatives and shifting workplace norms are beginning to accelerate inclusion. In an era where cyber threats transcend borders, empowering more women in cybersecurity isn't just about equity—it's a strategic imperative for Asia's digital future.Jasie Fon, regional vice president of Asia at Ping Identity, shares her journey and experience.1.            What early experiences or role models first sparked your passion for technology and shaped your career direction?2.            How have you turned setbacks or biases into opportunities for growth and resilience?3.            What key decisions helped you balance technical expertise with leadership responsibilities?4.            How do you approach continuous learning and adaptability in such a fast-evolving field like cybersecurity?5.            What is your perspective on work-life integration in high-stakes tech roles, and how do you sustain personal well-being alongside professional ambition?6.            In your experience, what strategies effectively build diverse, collaborative teams while mitigating cultural or gender bias—especially in Asia's varied business contexts?7.            How has mentorship influenced your journey, and how are you paying it forward to support the next generation of women in tech?8.            What legacy do you hope to leave for future tech professionals, particularly young women entering cybersecurity in Asia?

What does it actually mean to prove who we are online in 2025, and why does it still feel so fragile? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Alex Laurie from Ping Identity to talk about why digital identity has reached a real moment of tension in the UK. As more of our lives move online, from banking and healthcare to social platforms and government services, the gap between how identity should work and how it actually works keeps widening. Alex shares why the UK now feels out of step with other regions when it comes to online identity schemes, and how heavy reliance on centralized models is slowing adoption while weakening public trust. We spend time unpacking the practical consequences of today's verification systems. Age checks are regularly bypassed, fraud continues to grow, and users are often asked to hand over far more personal data than feels reasonable just to access everyday services. At the same time, public pressure around online safety is rising fast. That creates an uncomfortable push and pull between tighter controls and the expectation of fast, low-friction access.  Alex makes the case that this tension exists because the underlying approach is flawed, and that proving something simple, like age, should never require revealing an entire digital identity. From there, the conversation turns to decentralized identity and why it is gaining momentum globally. Instead of placing sensitive data into large centralized databases, decentralized models allow individuals to hold and present verified credentials on their own terms. For me, this reframes digital identity as a right rather than a feature, and opens the door to systems that feel more privacy-aware, inclusive, and resilient. We also explore how agentic AI could play a role here, helping people manage, present, and protect their credentials intelligently without adding complexity or new risks. With fresh consumer research from Ping Identity informing the discussion, this episode looks closely at where trust, privacy, and identity are heading next, and why the choices made now will shape how we prove who we are online for years to come. Are we finally ready to rethink digital identity, and if so, what does that mean for all of us?

As the holiday season heats up, so does the competition for your clicks. And for some retailers, they might be losing sales before they even hit “checkout.” A new survey by Ping Identity found that 54% of shoppers abandon purchases because of frustrating logins, while 63% would switch to a competitor offering a smoother experience. The Breakfast Show invites Jasie Fon, Regional Vice President for Asia at Ping Identity, to unpack what these findings reveal about changing consumer behaviour, why login friction quietly costs retailers millions, and how businesses can turn digital trust into their next big advantage this shopping season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fraud costs are climbing and fintech leaders face pressure to onboard customers faster while keeping trust intact. Host Tedd sits down with Ravi, a fintech veteran and CEO of KYXStart.AI, to break down how identity verification has shifted from a back-office task into a true growth driver.This conversation tackles the reality that fraudsters now use deepfakes, synthetic identities, and AI-built scams while many companies still rely on outdated methods like scanning licenses. Ravi shares how the right approach can reduce onboarding time by 80%, cut fraud rates by 60%, and boost revenue by 20%. The insights go beyond security to show how stronger data, smarter compliance, and customer-focused design actually increase revenue.TAKEAWAYS1️⃣ Rethink Compliance As StrategyUse compliance frameworks as tools to strengthen trust, open new markets, and support onboarding that scales growth.2️⃣ Use Contextual Identity SignalsGo beyond static IDs.

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, federal agencies need security that can think on its feet.    This week on Feds At The Edge, we explore how agencies are evolving toward Zero Trust by implementing dynamic security—a flexible approach that adjusts access and authentication in real time based on context and behavior.      Justin Chin, Director of the Government Solutions Segment at Ping Identity, opens with a relatable example: when your bank flags suspicious login activity and adds a second layer of authentication. That adaptive friction is dynamic security in action.    Federal agencies face unique challenges based on their IT architectures. Paul Blahusch, CISO at Dept of Labor, explains how a centralized system allows broad, consistent policy enforcement. In contrast, Elizabeth Schweinsberg, Sr. Technical Advisor for CMS, shares how her agency's federated model requires a more tailored approach to dynamic security.    Tune in on your favorite podcast platform today for insights into the different paths agencies are taking, why enterprise structure matters, and how collaboration is key to building secure, adaptive systems that support the Zero Trust journey.          =

draft When the federal government makes a strategic decision to implement Zero Trust principles, they must consider both user identity and the data users are trying to access.  Today, we have leaders in the federal and commercial sectors look at both data and identity and emphasize the need for centralized coordination, automated labeling, and real-time access control through Identity Management. Brian Rosensteel from Ping Identity argues that some kind of “federated” identity management system is the most effective for federal identification. Each agency really cannot be responsible for responding in a timely manner given the details that Zero Trust demands. Access controls have been around since the start of networks. During the discussion, participants gave opinions on the value of both access based and role-based access controls. They also suggested that “context” based access controls may provide additional abilities for systems administrators to improve real-time access controls.

Only one funding announcement this week, so we dive deep into Thoma Bravo's past and present portfolio. They recently announced a sale of Venafi to Cyberark and no one is quite sure how much of a hand they had in the LogRhythm/Exabeam merger, and whether or not they sold their stake in the process. We also have a crazy stat Ross Haleliuk spotted in Bessemer's analysis: "13 out of 14 cybersecurity companies acquired in the past year for over $100M were from Israel". Is this an anomaly? Does it just mean that Israel wasn't shy about selling when the market was down? We discuss. A number of new product announcements continue to trickle out post-RSA. We'll also discuss Sam Altman and OpenAI's decision to use Scarlett Johansson's voice against her will and what it could mean for deepfakes, advanced social engineering techniques, and general big tech sliminess. Do you know what a "product glorifier" is? How about a glowstacker? You will if you check out the second-to-last story in the show notes!

The next generation of identity security is not about the popular idea of convergence, but of unification. A single, AI-driven solution that integrates PAM with identity security and access management is the clear path forward to manage and secure all enterprise data through a unified control point.

Visit https://securityweekly.com/sailpointrsac to learn more about them! Over the past 15 years, identity has evolved from a perimeter-based security model with clear boundaries to one that is fluid, flexible, and permeates every aspect of digital business. Simultaneously, AI has infiltrated every enterprise, becoming a double-edged sword for defenders, and fueling fraud attacks across every sector. In this interview, Ping Identity CEO Andre Durand will walk through the evolution of the identity attack surface, and the opportunity decentralized identity has to dramatically improve both security and experience by putting users in control. He'll also discuss the increasing threats to individuals and businesses, given the influx of AI, and why we should consider this the era of “verify more, trust less.” This segment is sponsored by Ping Identity. Visit https://securityweekly.com/pingrsac to learn more about them! As companies adopt new digital cloud technologies, cybercrime threats are on the rise and becoming more sophisticated.
