Only a handful of industry associations accomplish what they set out to do. In the security realm, I’ve always been a huge fan of the Trusted Computing Group. It’s one of the few vendor organizations that truly makes computers more secure in a holistic manner.
The Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance is another group with lots of vendor participation that’s making headway in computer security. Formed in 2012, FIDO focuses on strong authentication, moving the online world past less secure password logons and emphasizing safer browsers and security devices when accessing websites, web services, and cloud offerings.
