Passwords Not secure enough anymore

• Passwords is one of the most conventional
  mechanism used to protect user identities. But
  passwords, by themselves, are not considered to
  be secure anymore. In passwords-only security
  model, access is provided based on what you
  know and anyone who knows the password of a user
  can gain corporate access. Thus, a password-based
  access doesnt guarantee that the person who
  logged in, is the real user. Identity thefts and
  credential sharing are also increasing, rendering
  passwords-only security model ineffective by
  the day.

Multi-Factor Authentication A well-improved
alternative

• Organizations are increasingly adopting
  Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) to overcome the
  limitations of passwords-only authentication
  for preventing unauthorized access.
• As part of MFA, OTPs (through SMS or email) or
  push notifications add a second layer of
  authentication on top of conventional passwords,
  minimizing the chances of security breach or
  identity theft. OTP- or push-notification-based
  authentication improves the security by verifying
  what one possesses (phone, PC or laptop), along
  with what one knows (password).

Biometrics-based MFA The best of both worlds

• Biometrics-based authentication, like usage of
  facial verification or fingerprint verification,
  overcomes the limitations of typical OTP or push
  notifications-based authentication by essentially
  providing authentication based on who you are.

5
Continuous authentication The way to go

• Continuous biometric authentication facial
  verification that keeps taking place on a rolling
  basis, once every preset time interval (say every
  15 minutes) and locks out the user when the
  authentication fails goes one step further in
  preventing unauthorized access and ensuring top
  notch security.
