Planning for a "Passwordless" future

Passwords have been beyond their "sell-by" date for over twenty years and managing the password lifecycle within an organisation comes at a large cost to any enterprise; passwords also form an attractive target for hackers and organised crime alike. Passwordless systems promise not only to save us from the nightmare of passwords but enable us to move to an environment where access is based on risk, leveraging multiple factors to determine whether a user should be allowed access; as well as provide the foundations for other corporate initiatives such as Zero Trust, Software Defined Networking and a modern work-from-anywhere culture.
