Closing the Gaps in Your Security Posture



Government IT teams work incredibly hard to ensure their networks stay safe and secure. But despite their efforts, many organizations still have gaps in their security posture that are easy for bad actors to exploit.

 

Two important – and related – ways to close those gaps are hardware security keys and cyber insurance plans.

 

Hardware security keys address a significant challenge related to multifactor authentication (MFA). Many state and local government agencies that have deployed mobile-based authentication are experiencing MFA security gaps caused by employees that can’t, don’t or won’t use mobile authentication. These gaps increase the risk of successful phishing attacks and account takeovers.

 

In addition to MFA, effective cyber defense also includes cyber insurance. But without 100 percent MFA coverage, ensuring complete cyber insurance coverage across PII and critical data is difficult.


Join us August 18 at 11:00AM PT/2:00PM ET for a moderated panel discussion on these two crucial topics. Our panel of industry experts and public IT leaders – including Steve Nichols, the CTO of the Georgia Technology Authority; Shannon Lawson, the CISO for the city of Phoenix; and Yubico Public Sector Vice President Jeff Phillips – will discuss how hardware security keys complement mobile-based authentication to help agencies get to 100 percent MFA coverage and the best achievable cyber insurance.
