Or, it could mean allowing them to use a particular application or not, or allowing them access to a particular network resource (e.g. printer, server) or not.
In my blog post earlier this month, I have mentioned this nonbinary approach in passing, particularly when I have talked about adaptive authentication. This is the core reason that the authentication 'adapts' to particular conditions. For example, if someone is attempting a second login with 'impossible travel' conditions. Or, if you are trying to authenticate not just the user but their device as well..."
The challenges our industry faces are almost too numerous to count
"However, through collaboration, we can share ideas and expertise in an effort to devise strategies and approaches for managing the risks emerging in this new digital era. As RSA President Rohit Ghai said during his RSA Conference 2019 keynote, 'cybersecurity is a team sport.'
To that end, I was honored to represent RSA at Cybereason's Operation Blackout, an industry-driven, virtual tabletop exercise that brought together leaders from the public and private sectors to review and illustrate the threats to election security.
