Cybersecurity in the Modern World: Advice from Three Experts

As a leading figure in business and technology, rf IDEAS President David Cottingham offers valuable advice just in time for National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Alongside two other industry experts, Cottingham discusses how individuals and organizations need to adapt to growing cyber threats.

“It’s imperative that as online threats grow more sophisticated, we understand effective ways we as individuals as well as companies can safeguard our digital assets and maintain trust in our technological infrastructure. Mobile credentials, predicted to be used by over 60% of the global population by 2026, can revolutionize access control for businesses when implemented strategically.”

How exactly can mobile credentials improve multiple aspects across businesses? David weighs in further, explaining, “This technology enables fast, touch-free authentication, enhancing both security and convenience. Plus, the current generation of mobile credentials, particularly those in the mobile device wallet, use a more secure, encrypted credential than legacy physical cards. And while adoption is usually a big concern for businesses looking to migrate to more secure technology, most people carry their phones at all times and are already using digital wallets for consumer purposes. We’re already observing cybersecurity strategies for larger corporations shift to incorporating mobile authentication and this will ultimately help ensure that only authorized individuals gain access to critical systems and data, reducing phishing and ransomware attacks.”
