The digital landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and so do the methods used to protect online environments. Passwordless authentication has emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional password-based security, helping organizations improve protection while simplifying access. Instead of relying on memorized passwords, users verify their identity through more secure and convenient methods.

The modern enterprise extends far beyond the traditional data center and the employee laptop. Today’s environments include a vast array of devices operating at the network edge—ranging from smart surveillance cameras and HVAC sensors to specialized Operational Technology (OT) controllers in factories and warehouses. While this growing ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) significantly enhances business capabilities, it also introduces a substantial and often overlooked security gap.
