FIDO at ISC West 2025

Join leaders from HID, Microsoft, and HYPR for a session “The Impact of Identity on the Physical and Digital Access Landscape”.

As cyber-attacks continue to break records in terms of both volume and cost, the search for a secure, scalable and convenient way to authenticate users has been a constant in the digital age. Consider these statistics:

• 86% of last year’s basic web application breaches involve weak or stolen passwords
• hackers launch an average of 50 million password attacks every day
• 60% of phishing attacks resolve in lost or stolen data
• 108% is the projected increase in the cost of cybercrime over 3 years

When it comes to user authentication technology, striking the balance to protect access to physical systems and cloud-based applications in a seamless way is an increasingly important consideration for IT and cybersecurity professionals. FIDO credentials in the form of synced or device-bound passkeys have emerged as a game-changer, redefining how organizations approach passwordless logical access and security. During this roundtable discussion, we will offer a 360 view of key items to consider when building a comprehensive security strategy that secures both physical and logical access, and the importance of striking the right balance between high security and a simple user experience to ensure the strategy gets adopted.
