Authenticated, But Not Verified: The Workforce Identity Gap
Security Boulevard, Friday, March 27th, 2026
At RSAC 2026, Nametag CEO Aaron Painter sat down with Security Weekly to discuss a growing problem in enterprise security: organizations can no longer be certain who is actually behind a human or AI identity.
Most companies feel confident in their authentication stack. Phishing-resistant MFA like passkeys and hardware keys are widely deployed and work as intended. But as Aaron explains, the real risk lies in everything that happens around those systems. Onboarding, account recovery, and helpdesk interactions are easy paths for attackers to exploit.
And as impersonation attacks scale with AI, these gaps are getting harder to detect and easier to abuse.
