Cyber Hero Origins – Rakan Khalid
This week’s expected summer movie blockbuster is “Transformers – Rise of the Beast.” At the same time we are excited to present to you a “transformer” in his own field Rakan Khalid, Head of Product, Identity Verification and Authentication. Rakan is our first Cyber Hero Origin in the form of a comic!
A little about why Rakan is a true Transformer and Cyber Hero: as a young person he took it upon himself to transform for his father, a doctor in Dubai, what was a paper based patient record system into an easy to manage electronic format. Fast forward through impressive jobs at Intel and eBay, and now Rakan is evangelizing FIDO-standards based passwordless authentication to protect his employer and their customers from breaches and fraud – not an easy transformation as people hold tightly to vulnerable passwords.
Nok Nok says THANK YOU to Rakan, one of many unsung cyber heroes who are responsible for thought leadership in his organization driving FIDO-based passwordless authentication.
