How Companies Can Prevent Identity-Based Attacks

Jasson Casey is the CEO and Co-founder of Beyond Identity, the first and only identity security platform built to make identity-based attacks impossible. With over 20 years of experience in security and networking, Jasson has built enterprise solutions that protect global organizations from credential-based threats. In this episode… Identity system attacks are on the rise and continue to be a top source of security incidents. Threat actors are using AI deepfakes, stealing user credentials, and taking advantage of weaknesses in the devices people use to connect to company systems. As threat actors become more sophisticated, companies need to find new ways to prevent these incidents rather than just detecting and responding to them. So, what can companies do differently to protect their data and systems?  Most authentication methods still rely on shared credentials like passwords or codes that travel across systems. Any data that moves can be intercepted and stolen by malicious actors. That's why companies like Beyond Identity are helping businesses strengthen their security posture with a platform that eliminates shared credentials by replacing them with device-bound, hardware-backed cryptography. By leveraging the same secure enclave technology used in mobile payment systems, the platform produces unique, unforgeable signatures tied to each user and device. This approach prevents AI impersonation attacks, phishing, and credential theft, whether users are on company devices or using Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD). In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels sit down with Jasson Casey, CEO and Co-founder of Beyond Identity, to discuss how businesses can prevent identity-based attacks. Jasson explains why chasing AI deepfake detection is less effective than verifying the user and device behind communications. He also shares how Beyond Identity's platform works with existing identity software, enables secure authentication, and provides companies with certainty about user access, including the device used and the conditions under which users log in. Additionally, Jasson highlights how cryptographic signing tools can verify the authenticity of emails, meetings, and other content, helping businesses defend against AI deepfakes.
