This week, I am teaching our intrusion detection in depth class. Probably one of the more technical courses we have to offer, and it is fun to watch students in class getting the hang of “becoming one with the packet” and figuring out how all the bits and bytes align. A couple of doors down, one of my heroes, Doc Blackburn, is teaching probably one of our least technical classes: SEC301, Introduction to Cyber Security (don’t tell him: But we sometimes call it security kindergarten). But truth be told, he probably makes more of a difference than all of our fancy technical classes. One of the things he is teaching this week is what “two-factor authentication” (2FA) means. You may remember that from your introduction to cybersecurity: Something you know… something you own… something you are… pick two of them. [2]
