Helping Pixel owners upgrade to the easier, safer way to sign in
Your phone contains a lot of your personal information, from financial data to photos. Pixel phones are designed to help protect you and your data, and make security and privacy as easy as possible. This is why the Pixel team has been especially excited about passkeys-the easier, safer alternative to passwords.
Passkeys are safer because they\'re unique to each account, and are more resistant against online attacks such as phishing. They\'re easier to use because there\'s nothing for you to remember: when it\'s time to sign in, using a passkey is as simple as unlocking your device with your face or fingerprint, or your PIN/pattern/password.
Google is working to accelerate passkey adoption. We\'ve launched support for passkeys on Google platforms such as Android and Chrome, and recently we announced that we\'re making passkeys a default option across personal Google Accounts. We\'re also working with our partners across the industry to make passkeys available on more websites and apps.
Recently, we took things a step further. As part of last December\'s Pixel Feature Drop, we introduced a new feature to Google Password Manager: passkey upgrades. With this new feature, Google Password Manager will let you discover which of your accounts support passkeys, and help you upgrade with just a few taps.
This new passkey upgrade experience is now available on Pixel phones (starting from Pixel 5a) as well as Pixel Tablet. Google Password manager will incorporate these updates for other platforms in the future.
Best of all, today we\'re happy to announce that we\'ve teamed up with Adobe, Best Buy, DocuSign, eBay, Kayak, Money Forward, Nintendo, PayPal, Uber, Yahoo! Japan-and soon, TikTok as well, to help bring you this easy passkey upgrade experience and usher you into the passwordless future.
If you have an account with one of these early launch partners, Google Password Manager on Pixel will helpfully guide you to the exact location on the partner\'s website or app where you can upgrade to a passkey. There\'s no need to manually hunt for the option in acc |

2023-11-27 09:26:51 | 8 sujets essentiels de cybersécurité à inclure dans votre programme de formation 8 Essential Cybersecurity Topics to Include in Your Training Program (lien direct) |
Your employees have a critical role to play as a first line of defense against cyberthreats. But to be effective, they need to know what those threats are-and stay apprised of how they\'re evolving. A comprehensive security awareness program is the key to helping your users grow their understanding of attackers\' methods and objectives so they can become more proactive defenders. That includes knowing what strategies malicious actors employ to manipulate people so they can use them to enable their campaigns. The importance of security awareness It\'s well worth taking the time to craft a meaningful and engaging security awareness program. By presenting the right mix of information to your users in a compelling way, you can empower them to help you improve your organization\'s security posture as well as create a more robust security culture overall. The cybersecurity topics that you include in your program should be relevant to your business and industry, of course. Companies face different cyberthreat challenges and regulatory compliance requirements related to data protection and data privacy. That said, there are several subjects that almost any modern business, regardless of its industry, will want to ensure its employees understand. We list eight of these cybersecurity topics below. They are the go-to approaches and tools that attackers around the world commonly use to compromise users and their accounts, disrupt normal business operations, steal money or data, and do other damage. Here\'s a high-level overview of these eight must-know cybersecurity topics: 1. Social engineering Social engineering is a collection of techniques malicious actors use to manipulate human psychology. Attackers rely on these strategies to trick or threaten users to take actions such as giving up account credentials, handing over sensitive data, running malicious code and transferring funds. They do this by taking advantage of users\': Emotions, by conveying a sense of urgency, generating excitement about an opportunity, or creating fear around losing money or doing something wrong Trust, by posing as someone familiar to the user or a trusted brand or authority-such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), UPS, Amazon or Microsoft Fatigue, by timing attacks when users are likely to be tired or distracted and more inclined to let their “emotional mind” guide their decision-making Common social engineering tactics include phishing-which we cover in the next section-and these others: Social media reconnaissance. Attackers often turn to social media to gather information about users that they target with their campaigns. These efforts can include direct outreach to users. Vishing (voice phishing) and smishing (SMS/text phishing). Vishing is the fraudulent practice of making phone calls or leaving voice messages purporting to be from a trusted brand or authority. With smishing, attackers use text messages to send SMS messages to users or robocall them. The messages often promise gifts or services in exchange for payment. Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD). TOAD attacks start with an email that claims to be from a legitimate source and includes a phone number for customer assistance. Callers are connected to fake customer service representatives who then direct the victim through the attack. They may instruct the victim to let them access their machine remotely or download a file that turns out to be malware. Or they might direct them to a phishing site. Common sense can go a long way toward preventing a social engineering attack. Make sure to reiterate that if a message seems too good to be true, it\'s very likely a scam. And if something doesn\'t look or sound right, it probably isn\'t. 2. Phishing Phishing is an example of social engineering. Most phishing messages are sent by email. But some attackers deliver these messages through other methods, including smishing and vishing. Here are some typical strategies: Malicious links.
