Passkeys for Omnichannel with Secfense

Passkeys: the Future of Subscriber Security

In the telecom industry, pricing is a primary differentiator due to market saturation. An emerging differentiation solution is passkeys, a passwordless authentication standard backed by the World Wide Web Consortium and the FIDO Alliance. However, the conventional method for implementing passkeys is cost-intensive and time-consuming. This often results in organizations seeking assistance from external software vendors.

What are passkeys?

Passkeys are a passwordless authentication method approved by the World Wide Web Consortium and the FIDO Alliance for websites and apps. They are intended to replace traditional passwords, enhancing online security. PhishMe states that 91% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. Passkeys prevent login using stolen passwords on protected sites and apps. They are compatible with major browsers on laptops and smartphones produced in the past 5 years.

In the densely populated telecom industry, standing out is tough. Many companies compete on price, but that’s not enough because there are so many players. Adding unique features, like passkeys for better security, can help attract customers. However, setting up passkeys can be hard and time-consuming. So, many telecoms get outside help to do it.

As part of the pre-implementation analysis, we verified that users utilize a wide range of client platforms: desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and traditional mobile phones. Each of these devices differs in technological advancement, features, and level of security. Because of this, and also due to the recommendation of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), we decided to introduce additional protection in the form of multi-factor authentication mechanisms based on FIDO. As a result, users of our applications can log in safely, avoiding common cyber threats such as phishing, account takeover, and theft of their own and their clients’ data.

Before investing in Secfense, we had the opportunity to talk to its existing clients. Their reactions were unanimous: wow, it’s so easy to use. We were particularly impressed by the fact that implementing their solution does not require the involvement of IT developers. It gives Secfense a huge advantage over the competition, and at the same time opens the door to potential customers who so far were afraid of changes related to the implementation of multi-factor authentication solutions.

One of the biggest challenges the world is facing today is securing our identity online. That’s why we were so keen to have Secfense in our portfolio. They make it possible to introduce strong authentication in an automated way. Until now, organizations had to selectively protect applications because the deployment of new technology was very hard, or even impossible. With Secfense, the implementation of multi-factor authentication is no longer a problem, and all organizations can use the highest standards of authentication security.
