Authenticate 2021 confirmed for October
The FIDO Alliance has announced the full agenda for its upcoming Authenticate 2021.
The three-day event will take place between October 18-20 in Seattle, U.S., but will also be accessible via remote attendance options.
Authenticate 2021 will reportedly “help educate attendees on business drivers, technical considerations, and overall best practices for deploying modern authentication systems.”
The event will analyze various case studies focusing on the Internet of Things, biometrics, and identity verification, and will be conducted by leading service providers, including eBay, Facebook, and Google.
Overall, Authenticate 2021 will feature more than 45 in-person sessions, as well as more than 20 on-demand ones, all focusing on helping the world move towards passwordless authentication.
“Relying on passwords is passé,” said Andrew Shikiar, executive director and CMO of the FIDO Alliance.
“[We] encourage organizations of all sizes to prioritize stronger security, and it is our mission to share the tools and resources to help them get there. This year’s agenda delivers on that mission, providing attendees with a strong foundation for deploying simpler, stronger authentication.”
