Webinar Announcement: 'Authentication that is 'Password-Only' in On-premise/Legacy Environments, Where to Start Strengthening?'
International System Research Co., Ltd. (ISR) and partners are holding a webinar on strengthening authentication in on-premise/legacy environments, where reliance on 'password-only' authentication is common. The event will introduce practical approaches using Yubi Plus/YubiKey and CloudGate UNO to enhance security without major operational changes, promoting the adoption of multi-factor authentication.

## Webinar Announcement: Authentication Reinforcement in On-premise/Legacy Environments
### Current Situation: Authentication Reinforcement Stalled in On-premise Systems and Shared Terminals
Despite the widespread importance of Zero Trust and multi-factor authentication (MFA), many workplaces still operate on-premise and legacy systems, and shared terminals. This makes it difficult to apply SSO or MFA to old business applications, and restrictions due to dedicated terminal use or multiple users make configuration changes challenging, often leading to reliance on "password-only" authentication. As a result, authentication reinforcement is not progressing.
### Impersonation/Unauthorized Use Risks and Unclear Countermeasure Approach
Impersonation and unauthorized access originating from credential leaks remain serious risks. There is a demand to steadily reduce unauthorized use risks while reliably ensuring "who accessed what and when" within site constraints. Password-dependent operations tend to lead to reuse, sharing, and formalization of management, making it difficult to identify causes and scope of impact during incidents. However, plans based on complete system overhauls or large-scale application modifications are difficult to advance, often leading to situations where "it's unclear where to start" or "priorities cannot be set." A small-start approach, beginning with terminal logon or initial authentication and gradually expanding coverage, is essential.
### Introduction Approach using Yubi Plus/YubiKey and CloudGate UNO
This webinar explains the philosophy and practical steps to strengthen authentication without significantly changing current operations, even in environments with on-premise, legacy systems, and shared terminals. Specifically, it outlines a small-start introduction approach centered on Yubi Plus/YubiKey, which can begin with just one terminal. It covers key points for operational design and common challenges encountered during deployment. Furthermore, for hybrid environments using both on-premise and cloud, it introduces application points combined with CloudGate UNO, offering concrete hints for a phased transition to "password x physical key" authentication.
