Who are you again? Infosec experiencing 'Identity crisis' amid rising login attacks
Vendor insists passkeys are the future, but getting workers on board is proving difficult
Infosec pros are losing confidence in their identity providers’ ability to keep attackers out, with Cisco-owned Duo warning that the industry is facing what it calls “an identity crisis.”
Only a third (33 percent) of the 650 cybersecurity leaders in North America and Europe said they were unconcerned about the security their vendor offered against phishing and AI-assisted attacks, according to Duo.
The identity and access management (IAM) biz thinks this can be explained by a number of factors, such as overly complex security solutions, a lack of visibility into potential weaknesses, and perhaps chief among all of them is that identity security is treated as an afterthought.

If you’re online, you’re generating a constant stream of information about yourself — sometimes voluntarily, sometimes unwittingly — that is assembled and used to craft your online experience. And generate wealth for data brokers. Meanwhile, designers and managers of the digital infrastructure on which the world depends are engaged in a never-ending effort to thwart attempts, by both criminal enterprises and state actors, to exploit vulnerabilities in those systems.
