6 years. It took 6 long years, ever since the Mat Honan hack opened everyone’s eyes to the need for two factor authentication, for us to reach the point where every major company added two-factor as their solution to block account hacks. Yet the news is still full of stories about account takeovers and data breaches. What happened? Why did 2FA, as the geeks call it, not prove to be the one-stop security fix it was promised to be? The answer lies in understanding what it means to properly augment your authentication with a second factor. Join me as we explore how not all second factors are created equal, and I show how complexity and vulnerabilities creep in from supporting systems around two-factor authentication. We’ll discuss how the fact that business is omnichannel impacts 2FA deployments, and lets not forget those pesky regulations.
