Enhancing user experience and improving Active Directory Security are often seen as conflicting goals. But what if they don't have to be? Join us as we go way back on a journey from zero to eleven, with a successful security key implementation that reduces institutional risk, enhances user experience, and advances compliance objectives.

Discover how Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) has implemented phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication and extensible risk-based access controls to protect privileged Active Directory accounts. We'll delve into our experiences, including the challenges faced, the adoption of security best practices, and the deployment of Yubico security keys.
