Microsoft is making significant strides in enhancing digital security and technological advancement on multiple fronts. The company is actively pushing passkeys as a simpler and safer alternative to traditional passwords. Marking the shift, Microsoft joined the FIDO Alliance in celebrating the first "World Passkey Day," and has pledged to increase the adoption of passkeys, which offer a phishing-resistant authentication method utilizing face, fingerprint, or PIN. This initiative aims to combat the rising tide of password-based cyberattacks, which have surged to an alarming 7,000 attacks per second. Microsoft introduced Windows Hello as a way to sign into accounts without a password and this laid the ground work for an entirely new era of authentication.
Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith is also urging the United States and its allies to intensify their efforts in quantum computing. Smith emphasizes the increasing competition from countries like China and highlights the importance of bolstering investment, workforce development, and supply chain security to maintain U.S. technological leadership. Quantum computing promises transformative advancements in fields like medicine, energy, and national security.
In addition to its quantum efforts, Microsoft has announced new European digital commitments, recognizing the importance of trans-Atlantic ties for economic growth. These commitments include datacenter operations in 16 countries and a Digital Resilience Commitment, reflecting the company's deep economic reliance on Europe.
