Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons Podcast

Everyone hates dealing with passwords, and yet they've been the de facto standard of computer authentication for decades. But there's light at the end of this long tunnel. There is a passwordless future where we can log in to our accounts using just our smartphones. In this future, it won't matter if websites are breached because there will be no password databases to steal. Even phishing will be a thing of the past. And thankfully, that future isn't far away. Today I'll discuss where we are, how we got here, and where we're going with Yubico's Derek Hanson. Derek Hanson has been involved in the identity and security industry for over ten years.  He has been building networks and deploying computer systems since the mid-90s and now is an advocate for how you can best protect them. And he is now the VP of Solutions Architecture and Alliances at Yubico.
