At this year’s Authenticate 2024 conference, Electrosoft CEO Dr. Sarbari Gupta presented an insightful educational session entitled, “A Shared Services Model to Promote Rapid Adoption of FIDO2 Within Federal Government!” Hosted by the FIDO Alliance, Authenticate 2024 is “the industry’s only conference dedicated to all aspects of user authentication – with a focus on FIDO-based sign-ins with passkeys.” Dr. Gupta’s presentation outlined federal government challenges to adopting Fast IDentity Online 2 (FIDO2) and presented a shared services model option for adopting the strong, scalable, and secure authentication standard.

“Passwords are an outdated paradigm for user authentication, yet there are technology infrastructure hurdles and legacy cybersecurity standards that have slowed federal adoption of passwordless authentication standards such as FIDO2,” said Dr. Gupta. “We are now seeing practical solutions for federal agencies and encourage them to explore a FIDO2 shared services model for phishing-resistant authentication.”

Dr. Gupta’s presentation for this session is now available on the Electrosoft Resources page.
