Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio) ESW #281 - Aubrey Turner
Passwordless authentication is all the rage. And rightly so, given its promise of driving engagement and boosting productivity via more secure and frictionless user experiences. However, the path to passwordless often leads to more questions than answers. Don’t fret! We’ll offer a passwordless journey roadmap that delves into leveraging different risk signals like user behavior and device characteristics to make smarter authentication decisions.

You will see how long I persisted over multiple months, to gain access and was able to hack these devices to the absolute binary core, warts & all. What was the bounty? Source Code, Root File Systems, FPGA compiled binaries, the works. Agricultural Security is a serious issue. Multiple ransomware attacks last year showed exactly how destructive attacks on Food & Agriculture are, and how fragile the supply chain is.
