Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Examines real vishing (voice phishing) operations and how attackers bypass legacy security controls
- Addresses the gap between AI threat hype and the continued effectiveness of low-tech identity attacks
- Covers practical barriers to phishing-resistant MFA deployment, including friction and user resistance
- Explores strategies for improving authentication adoption within zero-trust security frameworks
About the Event
This webinar from Okta Threat Intelligence focuses on the intersection of threat intelligence and phishing-resistant authentication. The session uses a real vishing operation as a case study to illustrate how identity-based attacks continue to succeed against enterprise environments.
The Reality of Identity-Based Attacks
Despite widespread attention on sophisticated AI-powered threats, attackers continue to achieve success through relatively simple, low-tech tactics. The session separates myth from reality regarding modern identity attacks, examining why basic techniques remain effective even as organisations invest in advanced security infrastructure. Legacy security controls often prove insufficient against these straightforward but persistent attack methods.
Phishing-Resistant MFA Deployment Challenges
Enterprise adoption of phishing-resistant authentication remains lower than security teams might expect given the prevalence of identity threats. The webinar addresses the practical obstacles organisations face when deploying these controls, including deployment friction, user resistance, and the challenge of supporting multi-platform enterprise environments. Attendees will learn strategies for bridging the gap between low authentication adoption rates and the requirements of robust zero-trust security architectures.
Who Should Attend
This session is relevant for security professionals responsible for identity and access management, threat intelligence teams seeking insight into current attack patterns, and IT leaders evaluating or deploying phishing-resistant MFA across enterprise environments.
