When usernames and passwords are compromised in a data breach, the consequences extend far beyond the victim organization due to rampant password reuse. For this reason, NIST recently recommended that organizations check users’ credentials against a set of known compromised passwords. However, by patroning dark web forums and paying for spilled credentials, enterprises indirectly support the criminal ecosystem. Furthermore, attackers often don’t publicly post stolen data until months or years after the breach, if at all. Is there a better way to follow NIST guidelines and protect users from account takeover? Join Justin Richer, co-author of NIST Digital Identity Guidelines 800-63B, and Gautam Agarwal, Shape's Senior Director of Product Management, for a lively discussion on NIST’s password recommendations and how best to prevent account takeover fraud at your organization.

As government agencies move towards digital transformation, Cyber threats are getting smarter, using social engineering, brute force methods, and even artificial intelligence (AI) to bypass common defenses to gain access to these critical systems and data. To help protect Federal Agencies against an ever-diversifying landscape of cybersecurity threats, Axway and Ping Identity have formed a global partnership to deliver a comprehensive Application program Interface (API) security solution that optimizes security at all levels, from network to application.
