Password management has long been a problem for your workers. Apple has a new solution that could help with passwords.
At Apple's June developer conference, the company unveiled a new passkey that relies on facial recognition toauthenticate a special digital code.
Users would use their passkey and Biometrics to access their accounts. One that's more secure, efficient and convenient is what Apple says it is.
Some people said that Apple's passkey could be the cause of the password's demise.
Password-less future isn't necessarily the case at the moment.
The vice president of business operations for North America at the digital security company doesn't think there will be a password cemetery in the near future.
"Because of the legacy applications and integrations into small or even big companies, I don't think a complete password-less environment will be around any time soon," Kasulis said.
Small businesses could use help in the password department. Cybereason's research shows that the number of attacks has increased by a third in the last year. Remember that a single compromised password is enough to launch a cyberattack on a company.
A New York-based software company's chief information security officer says that small businesses should first understand the strength of their fingerprints before adopting passkey. It's important to understand how passkeys work and what happens if their personal devices are unlocked or compromised, as a business would when adopting any other new technology.
The announcement has the potential to be a game-changer for small and medium-sized businesses that don't have the funds and resources to have enterprise-level security protocols and processes.
