We've joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Strategic Partnership Program, the global trade body representing the aviation industry and over 360 airlines. Travel is one of the most identity-intensive industries in the world. A single trip touches airlines, airports, immigration, payment networks, and booking platforms, all relying on shared standards to verify who someone is. Joining the Strategic Partnership Program is a natural step as we focus on how open standards can create seamless, secure experiences for travellers worldwide. ap1.hubs.ly/y0LpnL0 #IATA #DigitalIdentity #Aviation

Taking passkeys on the road. 12–17 April, Paul and Steven are in Vietnam for a full week of passkey masterclasses across Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, alongside our partners at DT Asia. In between sessions, they'll be sitting down with some of the region's leading organisations and exploring what modern authentication looks like at scale across Southeast Asia.

We'll be at IATA World Data Symposium in Singapore, 8–9 April. It's one of aviation's premier events for data, technology, and cybersecurity. And a milestone moment we can't quite reveal yet... See you at the Shangri-La. #IATAWDS #Aviation #Authsignal

Malaysia just raised the bar on authentication. BNM's updated RMiT policy replaces guidance with hard requirements: one device per user by default, robust verification before a phone number can change, cooling-off periods for new device enrolments, and MFA that goes beyond unencrypted SMS. The policy also explicitly requires institutions to offer passkeys or certificate-based authentication as an alternative to passwords. We've broken down the four key requirements and what they mean in practice: ap1.hubs.ly/y0HDNw0 #Authentication #Passkeys #Malaysia #Banking #Fintech

Adding MFA to an existing app typically means new backend routes, session state changes, SDK integrations, and a coordinated deploy with whoever owns the auth layer. The friction shows up when you're working with a legacy app nobody wants to touch, a credential stuffing incident where security wants MFA live this week, or a third-party tool where you simply don't have access to the source. With AWS Lambda@Edge and Authsignal, you can add adaptive, risk-based MFA at the CloudFront layer with no changes to your origin required. Full walkthrough on the blog, including the SAM template and all three edge functions. ap1.hubs.ly/y0GSP60 #Authentication #AWS #CloudFront #Security #MFA #Developers #Lambda #Cybersecurity

We're heading to Houston! Authsignal's Paul Bickley and Justin Vela will be at the Identity and Payments Summit by the Secure Technology Alliance (March 2-4) connecting with leaders across payments and identity. If you're exploring how modern authentication can reduce friction and improve security across your customer journeys, let's talk. ap1.hubs.ly/y0CcVk0 #IdentityAndPayments #Authentication #Passkeys #Fintech #Houston

SMS authentication is being phased out globally. The FBI and CISA warned Americans to stop using it after the Salt Typhoon cyberattack. NIST now requires phishing-resistant options at AAL2. And regulators are turning warnings into law, with the UAE, India, and the Philippines all setting 2026 deadlines to eliminate or restrict SMS OTP. Passkeys offer a proven alternative with phishing-resistant security, 100% first-try success rates, and up to 90% cost savings. Here's what's changing and how to stay ahead of it: ap1.hubs.ly/y0z-g90

We've launched our Canada Region with infrastructure in Canadian data centers. Enterprise customers can now run passkeys, biometric authentication, and risk-based MFA while meeting PIPEDA requirements and keeping customer data in-country. Learn more: ap1.hubs.ly/y0yZzv0

If your passkey rollout isn't getting the traction you hoped for, or you're about to start one and want to avoid the common pitfalls, this is for you. We teamed up with Yubico to break down what actually works: the server infrastructure you need, how to design UX that drives adoption, and security controls across your entire customer journey. Plus why regulatory pressure and SMS costs make 2026 the year to move. Read the full breakdown or watch the recording: ap1.hubs.ly/y0ys_20 #passkeys #authentication #cybersecurity

5 authentication trends that will define 2026. The passwordless future isn't coming. It's here. Justin Soong breaks down the shifts happening right now: digital IDs going live across multiple countries, passkeys becoming the default, and what AI agents mean for authentication.

2025 was the year passwordless went mainstream. - Governments started banning SMS OTP - Apple fixed the adoption friction - Passkeys went from 'nice to have' to regulatory requirement And now organizations have about 3 months to catch up before compliance deadlines hit. Here's what happened this year: ap1.hubs.ly/y0t4gZ0
