CSO Online, Monday, August 14,2023
Compromised user accounts are often the point of entry bad actors use to invade systems; this is why passwordless adoption is getting more attention. CSO lists 10 players to help CISOs make a decision on what works for their enterprise.

Passwordless--one of those buzzwords that leaves no doubt as to the meaning behind the term--is one of the solutions CISOs are looking into. Passwordless authentication offers features that help increase security for users while also easing the burden complex passwords bring to both users and helpdesk staff.
