In the realm of cybersecurity, Multifactor Authentication (MFA) has long been seen as a safeguard against cyber threats, but malicious actors are adapting to every blockade put in their path. Research has revealed that even when performing flawlessly, MFA can still leave opportunities for attackers.

This week on Feds At the Edge we take a look at current threats and best practices for reducing the attack surface for federal technology.

Active Directory, ubiquitous in both commercial and government sectors, is estimated to hold a staggering 90% market share.

Jay Bonci, CTO of the Air Force, highlights the necessity of designing systems that mitigate Active Directory’s weaknesses.

Andre Murphy, Federal CTO from CrowdStrike, describes a new concept called, “access brokers,” which provides identities to bad actors. Who needs malicious code when you can walk in the front door?

Tune in now on your favorite Podcasting platform to hear strategies that evolve beyond traditional MFA and actively address vulnerabilities in systems.
