Driving Modern Passwordless Authentication: Citrix Workspace and Microsoft Azure Active Directory

A full day sharing info about some of my favorite topics! I had a great time presenting at the CUGC Texas XL 2020 regional conference at Space Center Houston on February 26th, 2020. There was a great turnout from Austin, Dallas, and Houston community members with over 135 attendees! A big thanks to all speakers, CUGC leaders, sponsors, and CUGC HQ for putting on such a great event!

Several attendees asked me to share my slides so I have attached my “Driving Modern Passwordless Authentication with Citrix Workspace and Microsoft Azure Active Directory” presentation in PDF format to make it easy to share with the community.

Big thanks to eWBM and HID Global for providing sample keys to those that were interested in beginning their passwordless journeys!
