Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 1/12/24

Insight #1

Have you enabled two-factor (2FA) on your X account? The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) hadn't, but I bet they have now that the Commission’s account has been hacked. Consider this a gentle nudge to enable 2FA/multifactor authentication (MFA) in all the places.

Insight #2

I would also argue that accuracy trumps more results any day of the week. #securityisajourney #runtimesecurity

Insight #3
