Red Team Chronicles Episode 3 - The illusion of the fortress

In the latest episode of the Red Team Chronicle, Philippe delves into the complexities of cybersecurity, moving beyond the outdated fortress strategy to discuss the challenges posed by modern technologies like mobility, remote work, cloud services, and SaaS. The episode emphasizes the importance of integrating physical security into cybersecurity strategies, as attackers can exploit physical vulnerabilities, such as bypassing receptionists or using RFID hacking tools to access internal networks. Philippe highlights that attackers often target initial access points, which can include both people and machines like multi-function printers that often have default passwords and stored credentials. The episode also touches on the limitations of multi-factor authentication (MFA), noting that while it increases security, it does not eliminate all threats. An example is provided where attackers exploited a VPN vulnerability to gain unauthorized access despite MFA being in place. The episode concludes with an invitation for listeners to subscribe to the newsletter or follow the team on social media for more insights and recommendations.
