Exciting to see USDA leading the charge in phishing-resistant authentication! A new Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency case study out just this week reveals how they successfully protected 40,000+ users using FIDO technology. A few key wins include : * Protected 600+ applications through single sign-on * Implemented phishing-resistant MFA before it became a federal mandate * Created solutions for unique scenarios like biocontainment facilities * Leveraged existing infrastructure through Microsoft Entra ID The case study shows their success came down to three strategies: 1. Centralizing identity management 2. Making incremental improvements through pilots 3. Understanding specific use cases before implementation This serves as a great blueprint for organizations looking to move beyond vulnerable authentication methods like SMS codes and push notifications. USDA shows that with the right approach, even complex enterprises can successfully implement phishing-resistant MFA. 🔗https://lnkd.in/etRTVZ7N #Cybersecurity #multifactorauthentication #FIDO #DigitalTransformation #ZeroTrust

🚨Cybersecurity has reached unprecedented levels of concern across organizations worldwide.🚨 As reported by Jonathan Reed in SecurityIntelligence, cyber events are now the #1 global business risk in 2024, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer. The numbers are staggering: 72% of businesses faced ransomware attacks in 2023, with data breach costs hitting an all-time high of $4.88M. Global cybercrime damage is projected to reach $10.5T by 2025. Even more concerning is the rise of AI-powered threats. Gartner predicts 17% of cyberattacks by 2027 will involve generative AI. However, there's a silver lining - two-thirds of C-suite leaders see AI-based automation as critical for defense. Organizations are responding: Global security spending is forecast to reach $212B by 2025, a 15.1% increase from 2024. The message is clear: cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue - it's a strategic imperative for survival! Check out the full article: https://lnkd.in/g2dJQq-2 #cybersecurity
