Cybersecurity trends shift toward passkeys and granular access control
Digital security experts are highlighting critical shifts in identity management and remote access. For businesses, achieving true data sovereignty requires more than just GDPR compliance; it necessitates strict control over encryption keys, access management, and server jurisdictions to prevent credential theft, which played a role in 39% of attack progressions according to Verizon data.
Technological transitions are also reshaping remote work. Fortinet has removed SSL-VPN tunnel mode in recent software updates, prompting a shift toward IPsec VPN or agentless web access. This change encourages companies to move away from broad network tunnels toward more granular access controls for specific applications.
On the consumer side, the rise of passkeys offers a more secure alternative to traditional passwords by using asymmetric cryptography and biometric authentication. Meanwhile, security agencies recommend the use of dedicated password managers to mitigate the risks of password reuse and weak credentials, emphasizing the importance of client-side encryption and multi-factor authentication.
