SEATTLE, Sept. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The FIDO Alliance today announced Authenticate, the industry’s first conference dedicated to the who, what, why and how of modern user authentication, coming in June 2020. This two-day event will provide all of the education, tools and best practices for CISOs, security strategists, enterprise architects, product and business leaders to roll out modern authentication across web, enterprise and government applications - with a focus on the FIDO standards-based approach.
The inaugural Authenticate conference features Google, Microsoft and Yubico as Signature Sponsors and will be held June 2-3, 2020 at the Motif Seattle in Seattle, Washington.
“After years of increasingly severe data breaches and user login frustration, now is the time to end our dependence on passwords and embrace a new way to provide secure access to online services and applications,” said Andrew Shikiar, executive director and CMO of FIDO Alliance. “Authenticate is singularly focused on authentication, providing the industry with a forum to delve more deeply into the FIDO approach, hear from real-world implementers, and come away with everything they need to start the journey towards simpler, stronger authentication for their own brands and services.”
