SMS should be banned it's simply unsafe and unreliable.

Director of IT in Software4 years ago

We used SMS for quite some time, changed the MFA vendor and start using App-based. I find App-based less reliable than SMS. If cost is not a factor SMS is a more robust option.

The most secure 2FA would be an out of band authorisation of any transaction using mobile app or similar

What is the general community sense of TikTok out there these days?

We opted to block it from our corporate devices and networks prior to the official US Government ban both from an infosec perspective, and also to avoid the politics of its use. Our marketing department has pushed several times to have some controlled access because they believe it can be used as a recruiting tool. So far they have not challenged this with any credible data to back that belief up, but we will be re-engaging with them on this topic again soon and expect more pressure.

I'm curious what the general perception is out in the community? Have you encountered any credible information security threats or has this "threat" been revealed to be a political paper one? I'm not seeking recommendations for what we should do, more to gauge what others are doing and how you're basing your decision.
