About the Event
This Yubico webinar examines how organizations can modernize their identity and access management infrastructure to counter sophisticated social engineering attacks. The session addresses the limitations of password-based authentication and presents strategies for implementing stronger, phishing-resistant alternatives.
The Vishing Threat and Authentication Vulnerabilities
Vishing attacks, where threat actors use voice calls to manipulate targets into revealing credentials or sensitive information, represent a growing challenge for security teams. Traditional password-based systems remain particularly vulnerable to these social engineering techniques, as attackers can bypass technical controls by exploiting human trust. The webinar explores how these attack vectors have evolved and why conventional authentication methods struggle to provide adequate protection.
Building a Modern Identity Stack
The session covers the components of a resilient identity architecture, including hardware-backed security solutions and multi-factor authentication implementations. Discussion centers on moving beyond passwords toward authentication methods that resist phishing and social engineering attempts. Yubico’s YubiKey technology features as an example of hardware-backed authentication designed to address these requirements.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is relevant for IT security professionals, identity and access management specialists, CISOs, and security architects. Organizations in regulated industries and enterprise IT departments evaluating their authentication posture will find the content applicable to their security planning.
