Webinar: Authentication in the Age of AI

Authentication is the cornerstone of digital security, ensuring that access to systems and data is restricted to verified individuals. As the world becomes more digitally enabled and cyber threats become more sophisticated, understanding and improving authentication methods is essential.

Adarma’s recent webinar, “Authentication in the Age of AI: Benefits & Challenges of a Passwordless Future,” provided a comprehensive overview of authentication, starting with its origins and progressing through historical developments, current challenges, and future technologies.

In this insightful session, Gerry Bruin, Threat Specialist at Adarma, and Philip Ridley, Head of Security Response at Adarma, led the discussion and explained the imperative to move beyond traditional passwords. Looking to the future, they shared their take on the potential impact of quantum computing on cryptographic security and what a passwordless future could look like.

Key topics covered include:

• The historical evolution and current vulnerabilities of passwords.
• AI-driven threats to MFA
• The advantages and potential pitfalls of moving away from traditional passwords.
• How innovative tools like FIDO2 and other emerging technologies are changing the landscape of authentication.

Understanding the implications of quantum computing on current cryptographic methods and the role of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

By staying informed about these advancements, we can better prepare for the future of authentication and enhance our security measures against evolving cyber threats. For a more in-depth look at these topics, watch the full recorded webinar here.
