March 6, 2014 - Exponent offices, 149 Commonwealth Dr, Menlo Park, CA
DearBayPay Members,
Authentication and Identity continues to be a ‘hot topic’ in 2014, with more activity in the private and public sector than ever before. Developments in this arena are also having deep impacts in the world of commerce, payments and banking – both online and offline.
We are very excited to invite you to the second event of the Authentication and Identity Track. The first event took place a few months back with excellent feedback and clear indication that this was a topic of interest for the BayPay Community. For this reason, we are planning four quarterly events for 2014, with the first one taking place on March 6th.
Our panel will include key representatives of companies such as Symantec, Synaptics, Secure Access Technology and Exponent. The discussion will center on current and developing technologies and frameworks to authenticate customers - whether consumers or enterprise users - at the time a transaction takes place.
Biometrics, contextual information, hardware- and software-based tokens, adaptive security, device-based and cloud-based solutions, consumer experience and adoption… These are some of the topics that are likely to come up during our panel conversation.
If these, and other related questions, resonate with you, please register and join the panelists and your BayPay Colleagues on March 6th!
This event will take place from 6 pm to 9 pm at Exponent offices, 149 Commonwealth Dr, Menlo Park, CA.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to sponsor a BayPay Forum event (sponsor @baypayforum.com).
