passwordless authentication
- https://www.cyberark.com/what-is/passwordless-authentication/
- Passwordless Authentication is an authentication method that allows a user to gain access to an application or IT system without entering a password or answering security questions. Instead, the user provides some other form of evidence such as a fingerprint, proximity badge, or hardware token code. Passwordless Authentication is often used in conjunction with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On solutions to improve the user experience, strengthen security, and reduce IT operations expense and complexity.
Network Isolation
- Network isolation refers to the process of separating a network from the rest of the system in order to prevent and contain attacks. This involves following specific policies and procedures, identifying the type and method of attack, and determining whether a live acquisition is required.
