Identity authentication that meets today's virtual needs with HID Global's Yves Massard

Zero-trust security architecture is changing the way IT leaders think about access to federal agency networks and resources. That includes how to meet the needs of employees and contractors for whom physical personal identity verification (PIV) credentials and Common Access Cards (CAC) have been the primary method for authenticating access to federal IT systems. The rapid surge in telework during the current pandemic has made clear, physical authentication controls present a significant obstacle to those who need to access agency resources remotely. At the same time, the continuing theft of usernames and passwords is forcing IT leaders to look for better ways to authenticate users, says Yves Massard. Sponsored by HID Global.
