As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, phishing attacks remain among the most prevalent and devastating tactics for compromising user credentials. Traditional passwords and even Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are no longer enough to protect critical systems and sensitive data. To stay ahead of attackers, organizations must embrace modern solutions like passwordless authentication and take it a step further—adopting phishing-resistant passwordless authentication powered by platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What phishing-resistant passwordless authentication is and why it’s essential.
• Practical steps to transition from passwords to a phishing-resistant authentication framework using Microsoft Entra ID.
• Key considerations for evaluating and implementing phishing-resistant technologies.
• Common challenges organizations face during this transition—and how to overcome them
