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.

- Why do banks use Email/SMS in this age of basic data already being out there?

- 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?
