Risk based authentication pairs login events with behavioural signals, stepping up security when anomalies appear in how users work. As organisations onboard part time staff and gig workers, continuous authentication and smarter policies help balance security with convenience for a diverse workforce.

Security teams weigh strong controls against the need to keep people working productively, often holding on to rigid ways of doing things even when better options exist. A real world example from the automotive industry shows passkeys and FIDO based passwordless authentication personalising in car systems while keeping digital identity and access control secure.

Move beyond OTP. Plan enrolment, recovery, and cross platform sign in so passwordless lands fast across your fleet without derailing delivery.

Match access checks to context. Lower friction for trusted sessions, raise checks for anomalies and improve both security and user experience.

Identity is now a frontline control. Align MFA, governance, and zero trust so daily operations resist account takeover and policy drift.

Is passwordless authentication finally ready for prime time, or are we just replacing one set of problems with another? Welcome to Razorwire, the podcast where we share our take on the world of cybersecurity with direct, practical advice for professionals and business owners alike. I’m Jim and in this episode, we’re tackling one of the oldest challenges in information security: identity and access management.

Our latest discussion tackles persistent challenges in cybersecurity, specifically focusing on identity and access management (IAM). Experts highlight how attackers are now logging in rather than breaking in, underscoring the critical need for robust password encryption policies. This shift puts a spotlight on effective data protection and online security measures to safeguard against evolving threats.

Rely on insurance after a breach and renewal terms spiral; align effective controls with cover to keep risk and premiums under control.

Keep cyber insurance documents encrypted and offline so extortion demands are not set to your limits.
