FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance will be hosting its first Authenicate virtual conference for identity and security professionals around the world. The conference, which will take place November 9-19, 2020, will be dedicated to the who, what, why and how of user authentication – with a focus on the FIDO standards-based approach.
Security professionals can register for free for the virtual conference.
The Authenticate agenda includes six days of opportunities to transform attendees authentication knowledge and procedures. Authenticate is singularly focused on authentication, providing the industry with a forum to delve more deeply into the FIDO approach, hear from real-world implementers, and come away with everything they need to start the journey towards simpler, stronger authentication for their own brands and services.
