Understanding and Combating Credential Stuffing Attacks 9:25 am
Click to Expand
Credential stuffing attacks are the most common threats observed at Auth0. These attacks can lead to fraud, loss of reputation, and ultimately, loss of revenue.
In credential stuffing attacks, threat actors use stolen credentials from one breach to take over users’ other accounts. This is effective because, according to Google, 65% of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts. On some days, these attacks originate from more than 50,000 IP addresses and may account for as much as half of all login attempts using our platform. Even the most mature companies are vulnerable if they don’t have the right preventative measures in place.
Join Auth0 to learn:
- How credential stuffing attacks work
- What effect they can have on your company
- Steps to detect and mitigate these attacks

Do’s and Don’ts for Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Email Account Compromise (EAC) 9:45 am
Click to Expand
Email fraud leads to two main threats- one is Business Email Compromise (BEC) where attackers pretend to be you; the other one is Email Account Compromise (EAC) where attackers actually become you. BEC/EAC scams have cost the victimized businesses over $26 billion since 2016. What they have in common is that they both target people. They both rely on social engineering and are designed to solicit fraudulent wire transfers or payment. Unlike malware attacks, BEC and EAC don’t typically include detectable malicious payload. These types of threats can be hard to recognize because to the target these business requests sent by the impostors seem very routine and reasonable.
Join our session and learn about:
- What is BEC and EAC? And how do they work?
- What are the common attack tactics regarding this new form of email threats?
- Best practices to defend against BEC and EAC

Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 10:45 am
Click to Expand
Passwords have been a constant throughout the internet era. As we’ve moved from desktops to smartphones, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud services, we’ve all relied on passwords to access and safeguard our data and resources across the applications we use on a daily basis.
But in this new digital age where data breaches are rampant, passwords are no longer good enough. Not only are they insecure, they are expensive and offer a poor user experience. Fortunately, there’s a better way to protect your applications and stop account takeover incidents.
In this session, we’ll discuss the benefits of passwordless authentication and explain how eliminating the password can help improve user experience, admin visibility and control, and scalability. We’ll also walk through key considerations and first steps as you embark on your passwordless journey.
