Advanced Defense with Passwordless Authentication FIDO2

Phishing attacks and credential stuffing remain among the top causes of data breaches, exploiting users’ reliance on passwords. The FIDO2 standard, developed by the FIDO Alliance and W3C, addresses these threats by enabling passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication across web and native applications.

Ensurity’s passwordless authentication FIDO2 solution leverages hardware-backed credentials—such as USB security keys or built-in biometric sensors—to authenticate users. Private keys are generated and stored locally, never transmitted over the network. During login, the user verifies their identity through a secure gesture (e.g., touching the security key), ensuring an attacker cannot intercept or replicate the credential.

This passwordless FIDO2 approach aligns perfectly with zero-trust security models by continuously verifying device integrity and user identity. Integrations with major identity providers and applications are streamlined via standardized FIDO2 APIs. Additionally, organizations gain comprehensive auditing and reporting capabilities, crucial for compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

Adopting Ensurity’s passwordless authentication FIDO2 solution significantly enhances security while improving user satisfaction. Users enjoy quick, intuitive logins without the headaches of password management, and IT teams benefit from reduced operational overhead. By embracing FIDO2, organizations future-proof their identity strategy and establish a robust defense against evolving cyber threats.
