In this episode, hosts Jim and Jeff talk about the Identiverse conference taking place this week in Las Vegas before diving into the Hypr report about the State of Passwordless Identity Assurance. They discuss the alarming statistics that 91% of breached organizations cite credential misuse or authentication weaknesses as a root cause, and the average cost of authentication-related breaches in the last 12 months was $5.48 million.
