SEATTLE, May 13, 2024 (Globe Newswire) — SecureW2, a comprehensive passwordless security platform provider, today won the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards in the Digital Certificates, Network Security, and Passwordless Solutions category. It was announced that he had been selected as a prize winner. This annual award recognizes cybersecurity vendors who have demonstrated leadership, innovation, and excellence in all areas of security and technology.
The increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber-attacks that exploit weaknesses in credential-based authentication is driving the demand for passwordless authentication. Certificate-based authentication (CBA) uses digital certificates based on cryptography to verify an individual's identity, computer, or other device and grant access to a network or resource. Certificates prevent hackers from stealing credentials over the air or through social engineering. The system can require device trust because certificates cannot be exported and are locked to the machine to which they are issued. Device Trust helps prevent hackers from phishing credentials or bypassing MFA, significantly reducing the number of entry points for attackers to exploit.
