Your Passwords Are Useless – Brent Feller on How Hackers REALLY Get In
Think your passwords are keeping you safe? Think again. Hackers don’t need your credentials to break in anymore and the question is: if they don’t need your password, what are they using to access your systems?
In this episode, Max Clark sits down with Brent Feller, a cybersecurity expert with deep experience in network security and ethical hacking. Brent pulls back the curtain on the real tactics hackers use to infiltrate companies, steal data, and bypass even the most advanced security measures. From social engineering and zero-day exploits to unpatched vulnerabilities and ransomware attacks, he exposes the evolving playbook of cybercriminals. More importantly, he shares the critical defenses businesses need such as proactive threat detection, continuous network monitoring, employee security training, and strong incident response planning to stay ahead of modern threats.
You might think you’re protected, but after this conversation, you’ll realize why traditional security measures aren’t enough anymore. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Tune in now to uncover the truth about how hackers REALLY get in!

45:07 Small organizations may struggle with cybersecurity, while larger organizations face red tape, but modern solutions and outsourcing can provide better protection and efficiency.
55:42 Cyber insurance policies are becoming more stringent, pushing organizations to prove their cybersecurity measures, with the importance of proper protection, backups, and testing emphasized.
01:04:20 Real-time monitoring and network sensors are crucial for uncovering cybersecurity threats, small businesses need the right tools to protect against vulnerabilities, and the increasing risk of breaches may lead to personal liability within the board and C-suite.
01:17:48 Investing in basic cybersecurity measures is crucial for businesses to prevent devastating consequences and comply with requirements, as failure to do so can result in personal liability and damage to one's reputation.
