  • hot take: end users will be more likely to adopt security keys (or device attested passkey which = security key). Physical security, out-of-bounds cryptography to defeat AitM attacks (fake landing pages where six digit codes are stolen and silently used in perpetuity by the bad actor)

    source: my job is to try to get end users to put strong MFA on all the things.


  • As someone who consults in the IT Security space, It’s bad out there. Contractors and BYOD companies are downright sheepish in asking their outsourced employees to do anything security-related to their devices. The biggest attack vector is allowed unfettered remote access (and therefore the whole company and any bad actors are also granted unfettered remote access)

    I still can’t get over how quickly companies-at-large have abandoned VPN Servers (removing network trust from the list of options as well)

    I’m down to managed browsers via IdP, and I just can’t wait for the objections to that as well. People out here offering their faces to leopards. Certificate-based MFA on all the things IMO - passwords shouldnt matter (but six digit MFA codes aren’t immune to fake landing pages and siphoned MFA tokens that don’t expire)
