For #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, I'd like to start with a basic assumption we often seem to overlook:
If you don't need the data, don't keep it. Or put another way: you can't lose what you don't have.
Cheap (virtually unlimited) storage encourages us all (people and organizations) to keep lots of sensitive data we don't need - and there are plenty of examples of that coming back to bite people in sensitive places.
For #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, let's talk about the relatively new concept of the #Passkey as an authentication method.
A passkey is a modern replacement for a password that solves for key issues with passwords:
Domain experts feel that this solution is more secure than passwords for the simple reason that people don't generally create good passwords, and are proving (thus far) to be harder for phishing and some other malicious credential stealing attacks to succeed against.
You'll have to configure the use of passkeys for every website/service/app that you will use them on, but the benefits seem to be real, simplifying login and improving security.
The FIDO Alliance (https://fidoalliance.org) has proposed the logo below for use on sites that accept passkey access.
