Robust passwords remain the cornerstone of online security, even as malicious actors sharpen their attacks. Consider the threat from AS-REP roasting – and the defenses organizations must deploy to protect their Active Directory. AS-REP (Authentication Server Response) Roasting targets user objects in Active Directory that don’t require Kerberos pre-authentication. Kerberos – an authentication protocol – usually requires an operator to transmit an Authentication Server Request (known as an AS-RE

Vitalij Sova/Getty Images I use two-factor authentication every day. Any app or service that offers additional security, you can bet I'm enabling it. Not only does 2FA help secure your accounts, but it's also very easy to use. The only caveat is you have to have your phone nearby to access time-based authentication codes. Sometimes, I don't have my phone in the same room when I'm trying to log in to a site, app, or service. To that end, I have to get up, trudge through the house, find my phone
