What is MFA and why it matters

In this interview, Rob from ThreatLocker breaks down the dangerous reality of password reuse, SIM swapping, and why traditional SMS MFA is no longer bulletproof. We dive deep into how threat actors use reverse proxies like Evilginx to steal session cookies, allowing them to bypass multi-factor authentication and hijack your accounts without ever needing your password. Discover why relying on legacy VPNs and leaving firewall ports open to the internet massively increases your attack surface, leaving your organization just one brute-force attack away from ransomware. Finally, we explore the mechanics of ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust Network Access and Cloud Access, detailing how denying by default and routing through secure proxies can lock down Microsoft 365 and make your internal network effectively invisible to hackers. // Rob Allen’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / threatlockerrob X: https://x.com/threatlockerrob // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...
