The End of Passwords with Trusona's Ori Eisen - a podcast by Georgian Partners
from 2020-07-30T17:52:13
Passwords are the worst. We know many users pick easy passwords and reuse them everywhere, passwords managers create a treasure-troves for hackers, and even two factor authentication has vulnerabilities. So that got us thinking – what’s next?
Ori Eisen is our guest on this episode of the Georgian Impact Podcast. He is the founder and CEO of Trusona – a company working to bring about the death of passwords. Their technology verifies online identities using a combination of the existing biometrics in our phones, along with a snapshot of the “river of data” coming from the phone’s sensors. It’s online security that goes way beyond asking for your mother’s maiden name.
You’ll hear about:
- Why two factor authentication often isn’t as secure as we’d expect, and why companies like Google are moving away from SMS-based 2FA.
- The pitfalls of password managers, and how they can make life easy for the bad guys.
- How Trusona integrates with everything from Office 365, to Zoom, to Wordpress.
- How to thwart spearfishing attacks even if hackers steal your phone or spoofs your SIM card.
- Why anti-replay is a key part of any security solution.
- How quantum computing could soon undo the last 50 years of cryptography.
