True Password-less Security Arrives on MacOS with HYPRHYPR Corp., the leading provider of True Password-less Security, announced today the rollout of its Employee Access solution for MacOS. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181211005096/en/ The addition of MacOS marks a major milestone in expanding enterprise-wide coverage of HYPR's Decentralized Authentication Platform, enabling businesses to secure password-less access to corporate resources, eliminate credential reuse and stop phishing attacks while improving workforce productivity on a global scale. With existing support for Windows 7, 8 and 10, the launch of MacOS rounds off the HYPR Employee Access offering and accelerates HYPR's continued transformation of enterprise security. HYPR was the first provider of FIDO-Certified authentication for Windows 7 and is now the first mobile-initiated password-less login solution designed for both Windows, MacOS and VDI workstations.

Decentralized Authentication eliminates the hackers' favorite target - the centralized password store - forcing attackers to focus on each device individually and diffusing the mass credential breach. "Bringing HYPR to the Mac is critical to our mission of deploying true password-less security across the enterprise. It is well-known throughout the industry that complex passwords are costing business millions of dollars a year, with employees at large companies wasting thousands of hours on typing in passwords. When factoring in the large-scale breaches caused by credential stuffing, phishing and password reuse attacks - it is clear that eliminating passwords is a huge win for the C-Suite and IT teams," said George Avetisov, Chief Executive Officer of HYPR Corp. The announcement arrives on the heels of HYPR having been recognized in Gartner's (News - Alert) November 2018 Market Guide for User Authentication and a number of Hype Cycle reports including the Hype Cycle for Frontline Worker Technologies, also November 2018, and the July 2018 Hype Cycle for Identity and Access Management Technologies. Demand for password-less security inside the enterprise has grown significantly in 2018, with Verizon's (News - Alert) Data Breach report estimating that over 80% of breaches are caused by weak or stolen passwords. Password reuse is on the rise as well, fueled by over 230 million malicious login attempts that happen each day (Shape Security 2018 Credential Spill Report).
"Credential stuffing has weaponized password reuse at a scale we've
never seen before. The worst part is that your security hygiene doesn't
matter. HYPR's ability to stop credential reuse can significantly reduce
the collateral damage from breaches that happen outside of the
enterprise's control."
