Thales and Microsoft are committed to helping organisations address this challenge and provide an innovative, highly secure and user-friendly phishing-resistant authentication solution based on the Fast Identity Online 2 (FIDO 2) standard and certificate-based authentication (CBA). Thales raises market awareness of phishing-resistant authentication and accelerates the use of FIDO and CBA within Microsoft Entra ID. Thanks to innovative security keys combining FIDO with biometrics or physical access, Thales facilitates the adoption of this new technology by end users and a successful deployment.” “Sophos is a long-time MISA partner, which allows us to deliver endpoint, network, email and cloud security solutions that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365, Intune and Azure.
