RSA and the FIDO Alliance Champion the Enterprise Passkey Revolution

In this joint briefing, RSA Security’s Jim Taylor and the FIDO Alliance’s Andrew Shikiar detailed the global transition away from legacy passwords toward robust, phishing-resistant authentication methods. Andrew highlighted the explosive growth of consumer passkeys, noting that over 5 billion passkeys are currently in active use across the globe since FIDO began its market-enablement mission in 2013. However, both experts agreed that consumer adoption is vastly outpacing enterprise deployment, revealing a massive market opportunity for channel partners and MSPs to guide corporate clients through the transition. To illustrate enterprise viability, Jim revealed that RSA has successfully migrated roughly 98% to 99% of its own corporate workforce to a completely passwordless architecture. He noted that common deployment hurdles stem from human behavioral factors and corporate change management rather than underlying technical limitations.
