The Security vs. Convenience Dilemma
Access security threats like stolen credentials, phishing attacks, and human error are top of mind for organizations moving to the cloud. Many are grappling with low user adoption of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), which is often cited as cumbersome. According to Gartner, poor user experience during authentication is one of the main pitfalls to avoid when deploying MFA. Thales is committed to helping organizations rise to this challenge with the help of innovative, highly secure and user-friendly solutions like the SafeNet IDPrime FIDO Bio Smart Card.
Access Management Threats to Know
Phishing on the rise
The 2024 Thales Data Threat Report found that 36% of respondents have seen an increase in phishing attacks.
We’re only human
The #1 root cause of cloud data breaches was human error, as reported in the 2024 Thales Data Threat Report.
Stolen credentials put to bad use
The Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that attackers most often gain access to data by leveraging compromised or stolen credentials (24%) and phishing attacks (13%).
