FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, ON – July 4, 2025 – CanGlobal Media, a leading diversified media company, today announced a robust commitment to fortifying end-user security across all its digital platforms through the strategic implementation of a comprehensive suite of advanced technologies. This initiative underscores CanGlobal Media’s dedication to providing its users with the most secure, efficient, and user-friendly online experience available. At the forefront of this effort is the full integration of Passkey technology, complemented by enhanced multifactor verification (MFA) and other cutting-edge security protocols.
CanGlobal Media recognises that a holistic approach is essential to safeguarding user data in today’s evolving digital landscape. Our commitment to Passkey technology is a cornerstone of this strategy. Passkeys, built on industry-standard public-key cryptography, offer a superior alternative to traditional passwords by effectively eliminating vulnerabilities like phishing, credential stuffing, and data breaches. This means our users will benefit from a faster, more intuitive, and significantly more secure way to access their favourite content and services, leveraging secure, device-specific authentication methods such as fingerprint or facial recognition, or a simple PIN.
Beyond Passkeys, CanGlobal Media is significantly bolstering its security infrastructure with enhanced multifactor verification (MFA) across all critical touch-points. This means that in addition to a password or a Passkey, users may be prompted for a second verification step, such as a code sent to their mobile device or an authentication app notification. This layered security approach dramatically reduces the risk of unauthorised access. We are also implementing advanced threat detection systems and continuous security audits to proactively identify and neutralise potential vulnerabilities. By combining the convenience and inherent security of Passkeys with the added protection of MFA and other robust measures, CanGlobal Media is setting a new standard for media organisations in safeguarding user data and ensuring a truly secure and seamless online experience.
Recognizing the importance of a seamless and secure transition, CanGlobal Media will roll out these advanced security features, including Passkeys and enhanced MFA, over several months. This phased implementation approach will allow us to meticulously monitor performance, gather valuable user feedback, and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal functionality and user satisfaction. Each stage of the rollout will involve comprehensive user and security testing, including rigorous penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by independent third-party experts. This meticulous approach guarantees that our new security infrastructure is not only robust but also highly resilient against evolving cyber threats, ultimately providing our users with peace of mind.
