Cyber Hero Micro Briefing Series with Matt Topper

July 21, 2023 Nok Nok News Cyber Heros, Featured, Video 0 comments

Security, privacy and identity are very serious topics but the people beyond these technologies are human – they are creative and they find unique ways to solve the complex problems surrounding these topics. This week’s big blockbuster premiere coming in with a bang is “Oppenheimer”, the new Christopher Nolan movie starring Cillian Murphy as the infamous Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb. 

Although our Cyber Hero this week may not have created one of the most secretive, private and protected research sites on earth like Oppenheimer, he has built a space where users can scale, build resilience and safely and securely access the service. Matt Topper of UberEther is a big proponent of safety and security, and he believes high-level security should be accessible to everyone, not just a few scientists in Los Alamos. 

While they are not guarding the secrets of the nuclear bomb, most regulated industries have incredibly high security requirements nowadays including multi factor authentication. Listen to Matt dissect the pros and cons of this kind of technology and its place moving forward.

Cyber Hero Micro Briefing Series with Rolf Lindemann

July 14, 2023 Nok Nok News Cyber Heros, Featured, Video 0 comments

Could we ask for a better analogy? This week’s blockbuster premier is “Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” with the always entertaining Tom Cruise. His character Ethan Hunt and the IMF must track down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. So too are the founders of the FIDO Alliance like Tom Cruise leaping tall buildings and racing through narrow alleyways to protect against “dangerous hackers” looking to get their hands on your passwords!

This week’s Cyber Hero is a little like Tom Cruise – Rolf Lindemann of Nok Nok – dashing and swashbuckling. Rolf has been there since the inception of the FIDO Alliance.  Hear in his own words how the small group of people tackled one of the biggest problems still in the world of computing.

Imagine a group of individuals standing on the beach looking out at the ocean and being told you need to boil all the water. This is what it often felt like when the original founders of the FIDO specification and the FIDO Alliance went through the process of deciding where to begin to replace passwords. They all knew that no one company or person could solve the problem of weak, phishable passwords. But they knew something had to be done as the bandaids being applied to try to strengthen passwords were not working as $100s of millions of dollars were being lost to cybercriminals everyday.

Cyber Hero Series – It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Tushar!

June 23, 2023 Nok Nok News Cyber Heros 0 comments

This week’s blockbuster premiere is a comedy, drama and a romance all wrapped in one with one of the perennial favorite actors, Tom Hanks – “Asteroid City.” And as is the case with any movie written and directed by Wes Anderson – there is a mix of styles and different time periods.

In today’s edition of the Cyber Hero Origins series, our second digital comic, we go back in time a little and look at how our Cyber Hero Tushar Phondge has spent a career eradicating passwords, working toward putting into the hands of individuals – not big companies – the control over the types of personal information that is shared. His mission – self-sovereign identity.

Nok Nok says THANK YOU, Tushar, for learning as a boy how to tinker with cars and applying that same passion to cyber security – evangelizing and implementing FIDO-based passwordless authentication solutions along the way.

Cyber Hero Micro Briefing Series with Tammi Hayes

June 16, 2023 Nok Nok News Cyber Heros, Video 0 comments

One of the most highly anticipated summer superhero movies is out today – “The Flash.”  While she can’t travel back in time like The Flash to change what’s happened in the past, our Cyber Hero this week, Tammi Hayes, has been there since the beginning, making us all more secure on the internet.

Tammi has been a cybersecurity champion for over two decades, pioneering its evolution since the early dot-com era. Her involvement with RSA, however, marked merely the beginning of her cybersecurity odyssey.

In this week’s episode of Cyber Hero Origins, Tammi describes her journey to becoming a cybersecurity evangelist and how she’s raised awareness for FIDO and Nok Nok – pushing forward the discourse on passwordless security and helping FIDO to become a globally accepted standard for all industries.

Thank you, Tammi! Your continuous efforts in cybersecurity are not merely a testament to your expertise and dedication, but it also serves as an inspiration for others!

Cyber Hero Origins – Rakan Khalid

June 9, 2023 Nok Nok News Cyber Heros 0 comments

This week’s expected summer movie blockbuster is “Transformers – Rise of the Beast.” At the same time we are excited to present to you a “transformer” in his own field Rakan Khalid, Head of Product, Identity Verification and Authentication. Rakan is our first Cyber Hero Origin in the form of a comic! 

A little about why Rakan is a true Transformer and Cyber Hero: as a young person he took it upon himself to transform for his father, a doctor in Dubai, what was a paper based patient record system into an easy to manage electronic format. Fast forward through impressive jobs at Intel and eBay, and now Rakan is evangelizing FIDO-standards based passwordless authentication to protect his employer and their customers from breaches and fraud – not an easy transformation as people hold tightly to vulnerable passwords.

Nok Nok says THANK YOU to Rakan, one of many unsung cyber heroes who are responsible for thought leadership in his organization driving FIDO-based passwordless authentication. 

Subscribe to our blog and stay tuned, as we have comics and podcasts premiering all summer!

“Transactions using mobile devices are rapidly spreading and it is essential to support both usability and security. By combining Hitachi’s abundant system development capabilities and know-how in the financial system and security related fields, and Nok Nok’s globally deployed and proven FIDO certified products, we achieved this compatibility, which led to this adoption.”

– Mr. Nobuo Nagaarashi, General Manager, Financial Information Systems 1st Division, Hitachi, Ltd.
