Jacob Hawthorne
Jacob has a background in IT infrastructure that began with maintaining on-premise environments, eventually evolving into “the cloud”... With a passion for IT security he moved into blue team roles specialising in cloud security. Jacob now works as an offensive security consultant in Wellington, specialising in devops and cloud security.
When not wrangling security he has a keen interest for tinkering with hardware, 3D printing, self-hosting, gaming and recently navigating (for him) the uncharted waters of parenthood.

MFA, everyone says you should be using it. We say that too, but not all MFA is created equal, and some MFA implementations have issues. Having tested many systems over the years we have seen some “interesting” implementations with weird behaviour which allows for bypassing MFA. Knowing these gotchas will help you find these issues and hopefully avoid the same mistakes.
