Where we’re going… we won’t need passwords…

This session will cover a real-word approach to an enterprise wide, multi-factor authentication deployment at a fortune 500 financial services company with 30,000+ workforce. We'll discuss the technical challenges we faced in adapting modern passwordless authentication protocols such as SAML and Kerberos to a wide range of client computing devices and legacy technologies. We'll also discuss the critical user experience decisions and lessons learned during the implementation to enable workforce authentication any time, any place, and any device.
