Multifactor authentication (MFA) works by requiring users to provide more than one form of identification when logging into a system or account. This extra layer of security is meant to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information. However, while MFA may seem like a foolproof solution, it actually has its own set of vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals.
Cybersecurity experts Rob Wright (Dark Reading), David Jones (Cybersecurity Dive), and Alissa Irei (TechTarget Search Security) recently came together to discuss the future of online security. Let’s take a look at their insights on major trends and new risks to help businesses better navigate the challenges on the horizon.
Strong passwords are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect online accounts. Still, many businesses use weak or reuse credentials. Learning how to create stronger passwords can significantly lower your business’s risk without adding unnecessary complexity to your security practices.
You can buy great security tools, but they’ll never be as powerful as a well-trained team.
Most attackers don’t break in. They trick someone into opening the door.
And the difference between a close call and a disaster often comes down to whether someone spots the warning signs in time…

How much time is your team losing to tasks that could be happening automatically in the background?
Most businesses don’t realize how many hours disappear each week to simple, repetitive admin.
The kind of work that drains energy but doesn’t move the business forward.
We give our IT teams the keys to the kingdom to keep operations running. Yet, that access creates a massive blind spot. Recent trends show disgruntled tech workers bypassing the very security measures they helped build. Trust is necessary for business, but blind faith in your technical staff leaves your company wide open to attack.
AI’s for more than writing posts or creating images.
It’s quietly transforming how businesses work. Saving time, improving communication, and even strengthening security.
The smartest companies aren’t asking if they should use AI… they’re asking how.
Think your business wouldn’t be a target for cybercriminals?
Think again.
Most attacks don’t start with Hollywood-style hackers. They start with simple mistakes.
Weak passwords. Missed updates. No backup plan.
These are five red flags that make businesses like yours an easy target (and how to fix them before it’s too late)…

With cyberthreats escalating and major breaches costing billions, many organizations are embracing the zero trust approach, a holistic methodology that assumes compromise and requires constant verification across all devices and applications. This guide lists the practical, actionable steps security leaders must take to move beyond initial pilots and effectively implement a comprehensive zero trust architecture that effectively counters modern threats.
