Many companies want to work towards the Zero-Trust principle, and you will advise your clients about this. Because it has become apparent that passwords cannot protect identity optimally, many companies are now switching to Single Sign-on in combination with Passwordless Authentication. We help our clients by advising them and making this transition a reality.
