Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a critical security control in the increasingly cloud-first world, but like all software, there can be vulnerabilities. The Varonis Threat Research team discovered, and responsibly disclosed, a vulnerability in Box's implementation of MFA which could have allowed an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a Box environment.
Kilian Englert and Ryan O'Boyle from the Varonis Cloud Architecture team use the Varonis threat research as a jumping-off point to discuss cloud defense-in-depth strategy, and layered security controls can help mitigate damage from the next inevitable vulnerability.
Watch Varonis threat researcher Kody Kinzie demonstrates how an attacker could use stolen credentials to compromise an organization's Box account and exfiltrate sensitive data *without* providing a one-time password.
