Day after day, headlines scream with fresh alarms about data breaches and cyber thefts. It’s almost routine now: the details may differ but the stories echo each other—personal banking information, health records, and confidential corporate data falling into the wrong hands.
Imagine your entire digital life on display for any intruder who cares to peek; that’s what’s at stake without robust authentication. Making your data hard to reach doesn’t just protect you; it also makes cybercriminals likely to bypass you in search of easier targets.
Join us on the latest episode of Threat Talks, aptly named ‘Authentication Apocalypse.’ Our hosts, Lieuwe Jan Koning and Luca Cipriano, explore this pressing topic with Harald Bosman, a seasoned endpoint engineer from AMS-IX.
Broadcasting live from ON2IT’s high-tech Security Operations Center, the trio dissects why fortifying your first line of defense—authentication—is more crucial than ever.
Does your workplace have digital gatekeepers in place for access control? How thorough are your methods for confirming identities?
Join our expert panel as they dissect the mechanisms that keep our data secured behind digital doors.

Outlook Vulnerability
This episode of Threat Talks exposes how the notorious Fancy Bear has unveiled a critical Microsoft Outlook vulnerability, targeting key infrastructures across the globe. Hosts Lieuwe Jan Koning and Luca Cipriano are joined by ON2IT Field CTO Rob Maas for this deep dive.
Their conversation doesn’t just focus on Fancy Bear’s tactics; instead, they also focus on how Fancy Bear and threats like it highlight the pressing need for advanced cybersecurity defenses.
By exploring these significant security challenges, we underscore the importance of staying vigilant and proactive in the digital age. Discover the strategies that suggest to bolster our defenses. Will these insights be the key to safeguarding our digital future?
Stay tuned to find out.
Google OAuth
A vulnerability in Google’s OAuth system has revealed a loophole in the multi-login API, posing a serious security risk. This hidden feature allows attackers to bypass Google service authentications, posing a threat even after password resets.
Cybersecurity experts Lieuwe Jan Koning, Luca Cipriano, and Rob Maas discuss the delicate balance between user convenience and security. How does one defend against these vulnerabilities? Our experts emphasize the importance of measures like EDR software, firewall rules, and regular account session reviews.
Their insights underscore the continuous effort required to protect digital identities and data from evolving cyber threats.
Ivanti EPM
The discovery of a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) software highlights a significant risk in the cybersecurity landscape.
Join Lieuwe Jan Koning, Luca Cipriano and Rob Maas for a detailed comparison with the infamous SolarWinds supply chain attack. Using this comparison, their discussion unpacks the potential havoc such vulnerabilities can wreak when exploited.
Our experts underline how crucial Ivanti EPM is for managing endpoints; essential for everything from finding devices to installing software and updates. However, the same features that make Ivanti EPM so valuable also make a breach particularly harmful, as it could let attackers spread malicious software or take over devices.
The discussion also shows how we can protect against these dangers. It highlights the importance of network security steps like breaking the network into smaller parts and using systems to prevent unauthorized access, creating a strong barrier against threats.
Listen to this deep dive into Ivanti EPM to gain more insight on the importance of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools. How are they key for spotting and stopping threats? How do we keep our digital spaces safe from the growing complexity of cyber threats?
