Strong Security Vs. User Experience: Finding The Right Balance
Authentication Methods That Can Help Or Harm Your Organization’s User Experience
Different strong authentication methods yield varying user experiences. Understand the trade-offs and what works best for your organization, your customers, and your employees.
All enterprises must balance their need of authentication practices with ensuring a frictionless user login process. That is because there is a fine line between maintaining the essential strong security posture for user accounts, while also ensuring a positive user experience — especially as people are critical in maintaining that posture. According to respondents of an Akamai/Ponemon Institute survey:
“71% said that preventing credential stuffing attacks is difficult because fixes that prevent such action might diminish the web experience for legitimate users.”
Different strong authentication methods yield varying user experiences: That is why, during this web seminar we will explore 2FA, MFA, Adaptive Authentication, Biometrics, Credential Screening and more to help you understand what works best for your organization, your customers, and your employees.
It is a simple fact that strong authentication will impact user experience and effectiveness. However, with various authentication methods your organization can now manage how significant that impact is for the user, in order to find the most secure balance.
Attendees will learn about:
- Examples of user friction during authentication
- The pros and cons of different authentication security tools
- The differences in how industries are approaching authentication
- What other enterprise organizations are doing to address the UX challenge
