If your organization still relies on passwords, SMS codes, or authenticator apps to protect employee logins, it’s not a matter of if you’ll be breached—it’s when.

The shift to a passwordless future is well underway. Tech giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft have embraced passkeys, and for good reason. Passwords have long been the weakest link in cybersecurity—easily guessed, phished, stolen, or reused across accounts. Passkeys represent a serious improvement. They’re phishing-resistant, user-friendly, and eliminate the need to remember or manage credentials.

Token Would Have Stopped This Cold. Another week, another breach. This time it’s Ingram Micro, one of the largest tech distributors on the planet. Systems down for days. Operations halted. Now they’re staring down a ransomware demand, possibly for millions.

Amazon just sent out a warning about phishing emails targeting Prime members—scammers spoofing login pages and tricking users into handing over their credentials. Sound familiar?

Last week, Qantas joined a growing list of high-profile companies breached by Scattered Spider, a sophisticated threat group known for exploiting human error and weak authentication systems—not by hacking through firewalls, but by walking right through the front door.

When Hawaiian Airlines confirmed a recent cyberattack that disrupted its internal systems, it wasn’t just another headline—it was another red flag.

The Aflac breach last week wasn’t pulled off by elite hackers—it was enabled by the same outdated multi-factor authentication (MFA) most enterprises rely on today.

Every moment of every day, a quiet army of IT professionals, CISOs, and MSSPs are working tirelessly to defend organizations against an endless torrent of sophisticated cyber threats. 

What is Legacy MFA? Legacy MFA are solutions such as OTP over SMS and OTP via mobile apps that are 20-year-old technology. While using this technology is better than no-MFA, cybercriminals have developed sophisticated techniques and tools that regularly defeat legacy multifactor authentication (MFA). MFA significantly enhances account security, but not all MFA is created equal, and attackers are exploiting human vulnerabilities resulting in billions of dollars of losses. Here are the most common TTP used by cybercriminals.

As cybersecurity threats evolve, enterprises must stay ahead with advanced solutions. Our report, "Next-Generation MFA: Security Assurance for the Modern Enterprise," is based on a survey conducted and written by Datos Insights. In this report, we explore how leading Financial Service CISOs are addressing these challenges with cutting-edge multifactor authentication (MFA) strategies.

In today’s digital landscape, identity security is not just a concern—it’s a critical defense against the growing threats of phishing and ransomware. While multifactor authentication (MFA) has been promoted as a solution, the reality is that not all MFA is equally effective in securing user identities.
