My TechDecisions Podcast Episode 177: MFA is Not Created Equal

My TechDecisions Podcast, zero trust

On this episode of the My TechDecisions Podcast, we discuss multi-factor authentication (MFA) and how attackers are finding new ways to bypass the security control.

Josh Yavor, chief information security officer at email security firm Tessian, joins the podcast to discuss recent examples of this, including the Uber hack.

Uber is a $60 billion technology company that ostensibly has a large IT and cybersecurity budget, and the company even had MFA enforced. However, attackers were still able to access sensitive systems in what Tessian CISO Josh Yavor calls a new alarming trend of attackers bypassing MFA.

Phishing and social engineering will always be a part of cybersecurity discussions, but Yavor is paying close attention to the increasing frequency of MFA bypasses.
