Calero showcased how they empower enterprises to manage their full mobility lifecycle, from centralized asset and expense management, to providing mobile support services globally.
Google helps make the password obsolete. Google and the FIDO Alliance outlined what such a future may look like for Android users. Together, the organizations revealed that the Android operating system is now FIDO2 certified, which means that passwords could one day be fully eradicated in the mobile ecosystem. This can not only prevent eavesdropping and Man-in-The-Middle (MiTM) attacks but also remove what is often a weak point in online security services -- the possibility of passwords being brute-force attacked. Now that Android is FIDO2 certified, this paves the way for over a billion devices to implement passwordless authentication standards as long as they are operating on Android version 7.0 or above.
Consumers are driving digital transformation as they seek to enhance and simplify their lives, connecting with brands that deliver what they want at exactly the moment they need it.
