Jasson Casey is the CEO and cofounder of Beyond Identity, a New York-based identity security company that builds passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication designed to make identity-based attacks impossible. An engineer with a PhD from Texas A&M and more than two decades in security and networking, Casey has held senior technical leadership roles at IronNet Cybersecurity and SecurityScorecard, founded the software-defined networking ventures Flowgrammable and Compiled Networks, and served as a cybersecurity fellow at CSIS. He now argues that flaws in identity systems, not passwords alone, are the root cause of modern breaches and that cryptographically device-bound credentials are the way to stop phishing, credential theft, and AI deepfakes at the source.
