Description

Nowadays it seems like every major tech company has their own multi-factor authentication solution, whether that be a unique app, one-time passcode generation or the "classic" SMS two-factor code. Thorsten Rosendahl, the newest addition to the Cisco Talos Strategic Communications team in Europe, joins the show this week to discuss the conversations he's been having with customers in the field around MFA. He and Jon cover the news that Twitter is going to start charging for users to enroll in SMS-based MFA, the challenge of having too many authenticator apps on their personal devices and how we can get closer to a passwordless future.Other suggested reading:Threat Source newsletter (Feb. 23, 2023) — Social media sites are making extra security a paid featureNot All MFA is Equal, and the Differences Matter a LotTalos Takes Ep. #45: SMS authentication is still around, but that doesn't mean it's a good option
