As companies nudge their staff to return to communal workspaces, many workers don't actually want to - more than 50 percent of employees would rather quit, according to research by EY. While HR teams worry over the hearts and minds of staff, IT security professionals have a different battle plan to draft - how to make the new normal of the hybrid workplace secure.

The simpler, stronger solution to verification has been with us all along - using the strong security of the SIM card that is in every mobile phone.
The SIM card uses advanced cryptographic security, and is an established form of real-time verification that doesn't need any separate apps or hardware tokens.
ID APIs is to build a passwordless solution for remote login using a companion app to access an enterprise system.
