Description:

“May you live in interesting times” someone who clearly had a sardonic streak I’d call the time we’re living in right now more than just interesting. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit every organization like a ton of bricks, and we’re all struggling to adapt. Obviously one of the biggest challenges has been the need for Read More Below you can find a version of the talk that I just gave at the European Identity Conference and at Identiverse talking about what I consider to be the missing element in Identity Management. Seems the curse that the A/V gods put on me at last years Cloud Identity Summit survived the conference rebranding, as Read More No, I’m not declaring another thing in identity management dead. Instead, I’d like you to join me in exploring something that has been bugging me quite a bit lately. Risk-based Authentication can cover a spectrum of capabilities, but most generically it is a passive authentication factor that tries to measure the risk of a particular Read More The last few years have seen an uptick in efforts to use biometrics more widely in authentication, most notably driven by the consumerization effect of Apple introducing Touch ID and Face ID. But this could be the (strong) nudge that was needed to push it over the edge. Mastercard just announced that all issuers of Read More Back in 2013, I opened my Hitchhikers Guide to Identity talk with the following slide. As an industry, we ve come a long way since then. Multi-factor Authentication is mainstream, as is Paul Madsen’s t-shirt contest at CIS.

But it never came. Turns out that a few session recordings got messed up, and unfortunately mine was among them. I sense Paul Madsen s hand in this. Read More In my last post regarding weaknesses in how 2FA is implemented in the systems we rely on to secure us, I teased a thought that had occurred to me in going through the analysis I presented in the post. As usual, life intervened to distract me, but this recent post by Coinbase sharing their experience of Read More Two Factor Authentication (or 2FA) has been in the news a lot recently. There was the kerfuffle over NIST putting into their update of 800-63 that SMS-based 2FA is insufficiently secure and should be deprecated (something most security experts agree on). That update (still in draft) came too late for the Social Security Administration (SSA), Read More In part 1 of my blog post expanding on my Cloud Identity Summit talk on Invisible Identity, I proposed The 4 Core Principles of Invisible Identity that ensure that security and usability stay in a symbiotic partnership for an organization. I believe that adopting the concept of Invisible Identity will be vital to securing people Read More Almost 4 years ago I wrote a post titled The Epic Hacking of Mat Honan and Our Identity Challenge . In it I examined how hackers exploited the ways in which our online accounts are daisy chained together through poor password recovery and KBA based systems to systematically take over Mat Honan s digital life. 4 years later, much has changed Read More Disclaimer Talking Identity is my exploration of the world of Identity Management. The views expressed on this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer (doesn t mean I m not trying hard to mold them in my own image).
