Summary

With most cyberattacks, malicious actors don’t break in, they log in—using stolen credentials acquired through phishing. GE Aerospace, a world-leading provider of jet and turboprop engines, took their authentication cybersecurity strategy to new heights, despite adoption barriers across all manufacturing roles, from boardroom to shop floor.

Join us to hear from thought leaders at GE Aerospace and Yubico to learn how this manufacturing innovator is championing modern cybersecurity practices by embracing strong multi-factor authentication (MFA), including phishing-resistant FIDO2 passwordless authentication to secure data and critical infrastructure. In doing so, they are creating positive long-lasting impacts on their customers and business without compromising user satisfaction, existing cyber-defense and on-going compliance, all while shaping the future of flight for both commercial and military partners.

You will learn: 

  • GE Aerospace’s journey to hardening cybersecurity defenses using multi-protocol hardware security keys to bolster their existing cloud-based identity management solution and secure users in all roles across personal and shared devices within corporate environments and factory sites
  • How GE Aerospace is protecting the development of aircraft components by meeting SOX, CMMC Level 3 for U.S. Department of Defense and government contracts, GDPR, and other global regulations
  • Best practices to integrate hardware security keys in your organization with existing infrastructure and why phishing-resistant MFA should be a C-suite priority
