EMA CyberSecurity Awesomeness Podcast

Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast – Episode 128: Cybersecurity Awareness Month – MFA and Password Managers

10/03/2025

Category: Podcast

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off than with a new episode of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast, featuring EMA cybersecurity experts Chris Steffen, VP of Research, and Ken Buckler, Research Director.

In this episode, Chris and Ken explore two essential cybersecurity practices:
– Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – why it’s more than just a password replacement, and how even gamers embraced it before some banks.
– Password Managers – how they reduce risks of password reuse and why they’re a must-have defense in today’s threat landscape.

The goal? To educate, simplify, and spark conversations that make security more approachable for everyone.
