OneSpan launches passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication

This addition to the workforce authentication market is designed to safeguard corporate data and applications for a dispersed workforce against social engineering and takeover attacks.

Addressing the threat of data breaches in a vulnerable landscape

With data breaches on the rise and remote work the new normal, the need for robust and user-friendly workforce authentication is more critical. According to Gartner, ‘By 2025, more than 50% of the workforce and more than 20% of customer authentication transactions will be passwordless, up from less than 10% now.’ Moreover, the current state of data security is concerning, with 74% of all data breaches including a human element, with people being involved either via error, privilege misuse, use of stolen credentials, or social engineering, costing an average of USD 4.5 million globally.'
