Evil Mog is the Chief Architect of IBM X-Force, IBM's Hacking Incident Response and Threat Intelligence division, and a renowned password security researcher. He studies the movements of access brokers across the criminal software supply chain and warns that credentials are being traded on the Dark Web for pennies on the dollar, stored in Github, and driving the growth of identity-based attacks. Meanwhile, shared passwords, reused passwords, legacy software, and the growth of AI applications makes effective authentication challenging. He and Joe discuss the latest research on the current state of passwords and how they’re evolving for layered authentication and authorization. You’ll learn how you can move manual password processes into the background and improve security through password managers, passkeys, MFA tokens, FIDO2 and other techniques. If you have questions about passwordless authentication, you’ll want to tune in.
