Transmit Security Joins FIDO Alliance Board to Help Rid the World of Passwords

Transmit CTO Eldan Ben-Haim to Serve on Board of International Standards Organization

Transmit Security, the Identity Experience company, announced that it has been selected to join the board of the FIDO Alliance, the leading industry standards organization working to further the use of innovative technology to reduce the world’s reliance on passwords. Eldan Ben-Haim, CTO of Transmit Security, will serve on the board and collaborate with FIDO and industry leaders who share Transmit Security’s commitment to creating secure, agile, and user-friendly authentication.

Passwords remain in use despite the overwhelming consensus that they should be replaced. As our world continues to digitally transform, the need for a passwordless experience for both security and ease-of-use is imperative. Transmit Security was founded to offer enterprises a truly secure passwordless experience for both their customers and employees. With organizations losing billions of dollars over poor and overly complicated authentication experiences, the need for secure, yet simple identity methodologies that provide a smooth user experience is higher than ever before.
