Episode 56 - A Passwordless Future: Insights from a CISO

In this episode I have a special guest joining me to talk about a 'Passwordless Future'.  Jorel VanOs is the Chief Information Security Officer for the insurance company that is taking off like a rocket ship, Acrisure.  This is continuing a great conversation that was discussed in the Security Leadership panel at this year's C3 Tech Advisors IT Summit.

Talking Points:

• What are companies not understanding about Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)?
• Why do banks use Email/SMS in this age of basic data already being out there?
• If security keys are the answer then why aren't companies not using them more?
• What is this upcoming MFA apocalypse/reckoning I keep hearing about?
• What are somethings that a SMB can do right now when it comes to better use of MFA?
  • Google Voice/Fi?
  •  Apple/Google need to convert their phones into an open standard 
  •  Why can't your mobile phone provider use their verification as an MFA
