MFA Isn't Enough: How Attackers Bypass Authentication and What Actually Stops Account Takeovers

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) became the industry’s default safeguard for login security. Yet attackers now bypass MFA at scale, often in seconds. Banks, fintech platforms, and digital enterprises are discovering the hard truth. MFA isn’t account takeover (ATO) prevention. It only verifies the user – and attackers have learned to compromise the session itself. Modern ATO defenses must protect beyond the login, inside the browser, and in real time.

Ep 11 - Salt Typhoon Exposed: Breaking Down CISA Advisory AA25-239

In this special episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley break down CISA Advisory AA25-239—a joint alert from CISA, NSA, FBI, and global cyber partners on the long-running Chinese state-sponsored threat group Salt Typhoon. Salt Typhoon has been quietly infiltrating critical infrastructure for years by exploiting outdated routers, weak credentials, and “living off the land” techniques like PowerShell, WMI, scheduled tasks, and built-in administrative tools—making them nearly invisible.

The CISO's Al Dilemma: How Security Leaders Are Making or Breaking Their Company's Future

AI agents are transforming how leading companies operate, delivering 24/7 customer service, processing thousands of transactions, and driving unprecedented operational efficiency. 53% of organizations are already deploying AI agents for customer-facing tasks, with market leaders running hundreds or thousands of agents to gain a competitive advantage. These agents handle sensitive data, trigger transactions, and make autonomous decisions at machine speed. But the APIs that power them are becoming a vast, overlooked attack surface.

Top Trends in Deception Technology: Predictions for 2026

Attackers thrive on ambiguity. They blend into normal traffic, pivot between cloud and on-prem systems, and use valid credentials to move quietly. Your conventional controls—while essential—often fire only after risky actions are taken on real assets. Cyber deception flips that sequence: it places deception decoys, breadcrumbs, and fake assets in the attacker’s path so that any touch is a high-fidelity signal.
