Passkey vs Security Key: Differences, Security & Use Cases

Oct 23, 2026 By Minal Purwar In miniOrange
Passkeys and security keys both support phishing-resistant authentication, but they differ in how credentials are stored, managed, and used. A passkey is a digital authentication credential, while a security key is a physical authenticator that can store credentials and prove a user's identity. For enterprises replacing passwords, the distinction affects credential portability, recovery, hardware requirements, and control over authentication.

Q&A between researchers who are improving deepfake detection

Oct 21, 2026 By Persona In Persona
In the real world, attackers don't just generate a selfie, submit it, and move on. If one attempt fails, they’ll refine the image and try again. Existing datasets often fail to account for these variations, leading the researchers’ detection models to fall short in real-world scenarios. Zhaofeng Si, a PhD student at University at Buffalo who interned at Persona as a research scientist, and Saatvik Billa, an ML engineer and researcher at Persona, worked together this summer on a fraud taxonomy and a real-world selfie fraud benchmark.

What Is Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)?

Oct 16, 2026 By Stutee Raja In miniOrange
A field employee's laptop crashes, or a server in another office needs a patch, or a remote worker gets locked out of their workstation. For all these situations, the IT team needs to get in, fix it, and move on, without being there. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is Microsoft's answer to that problem. It's a network protocol that lets you connect to another computer over a network and control it as if you were sitting right in front of it.

What Are Machine Identities?

Oct 16, 2026 By miniOrange In miniOrange
A machine identity is the set of credentials a non-human entity, such as an application, device, workload, or service, uses to authenticate itself and communicate securely with other systems. Just as an employee proves who they are with a username and password, a machine proves who it is with cryptographic credentials like a digital certificate, an API key, or a service account token.

ERP and SIS Integration With IAM for Higher Educational Institutes

Oct 15, 2026 By Stutee Raja In miniOrange
Higher education institutions manage identity information across systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms, Student Information Systems (SIS), and HR systems. These records determine whether someone is a student, employee, faculty member, researcher, alumnus, or another type of campus user. Integrating these systems with Identity and Access Management (IAM) lets institutions use those records to manage digital identities and access throughout the user lifecycle.

Adaptive Security: How It Works, Architecture, Benefits & Use Cases

Oct 15, 2026 By miniOrange In miniOrange
Adaptive security is a cybersecurity approach that continuously monitors users, devices, networks, and security events to identify risks and adjust defenses in real time. Unlike static security models that rely on fixed rules and periodic updates, adaptive security responds to changes in behavior, context, and threat levels as they occur. It continuously evaluates security risks, detects unusual or suspicious activity, and adapts security controls based on the situation.

Apono Brings Just-in-Time Access to AWS IAM Account Access Manager

Oct 14, 2026 By Elad Plachzinsky In Apono
AWS just shipped AWS IAM Account Access Manager (AAM), a new way to grant AWS access through AWS IAM Identity Center using IAM roles. Apono is supporting AAM from day one, bringing just-in-time provisioning directly to the IAM roles your teams already trust. If you’re running AWS IAM Identity Center today, you’re likely provisioning access through permission sets.
