Hawcx, a pioneer in Intelligent passwordless authentication,
marks a significant milestone with the launch of its cutting-edge
platform. The platform, designed to revolutionize authentication
for both enterprises and end-users, offers a seamless blend of
convenience and security, ushering in a new era of digital
authentication.
Passwordless authentication is crucial today, with 81% of data
breaches caused by weak or stolen passwords. Traditional systems
also lead to user frustration and productivity losses, as 65% admit
to password reuse across accounts. "Innovative key-based
authentication secures sensitive user data, ensuring peace of mind
for enterprises and end-users," says Selva Kumaraswamy, Co-Founder
& CTO of Hawcx. "We're thrilled to unveil our groundbreaking,
platform-agnostic passwordless platform, democratizing access for
all internet users."
In a strategic move, Hawcx appoints Lakshmi Sharma, former CPO
of Fastly, as its Chief Product Officer. Sharma's extensive
experience in technology leadership roles at Fastly, Google, Cisco,
and Target makes her an invaluable addition to the team. Her
appointment underscores Hawcx's commitment to delivering superior
user experience and innovation in authentication technology.
"Lakshmi Sharma's appointment reflects our dedication to
delivering a paradigm shift in authentication," said Riya
Shanmugam, Co-Founder & CEO of Hawcx. "With the launch of our
platform and Lakshmi's leadership, we are committed to redefine
authentication for enterprises and their end-users, providing a
seamless and secure authentication experience."
"I am excited to join Hawcx at such an exciting period of
growth," said Lakshmi Sharma. "I am eager to work alongside the
exceptionally talented and modest leadership team, who bring
extensive expertise in Security, Cloud, and Large Scale Systems.
Together, at Hawcx, we will strengthen our solid foundation and
drive innovation across our product portfolio." In her role as
Chief Product Officer, Lakshmi Sharma will oversee all aspects of
product strategy, development, and innovation at Hawcx.
Hawcx remains committed to making the digital world safer and
more accessible for all through passwordless authentication.

drastically minimizes the risk of a personal data breach using
zero-knowledge key-based authentication. Unlike vendor-dependent
password-based authentication or other MFA methods, Hawcx is the
industry’s first and only solution that does not store any user
sensitive information, including the passwords and private keys,
anywhere in their systems.
