AI made PMs faster. Multiplayer mode is still broken.
A PM can summarize research, draft a PRD, and mock up a prototype before lunch. The hard part starts when the team has to decide what actually gets built.
Jira Product Discovery gives product teams one place to capture insights, prioritize ideas with consistent frameworks, and build living roadmaps stakeholders can rally around.

Attackers Know Support Teams Are Designed to Help
Help desks routinely reset passwords, recover accounts, replace MFA devices, and solve access problems quickly. That makes them attractive targets for social engineering.
A Convincing Story Can Bypass Strong Technology
An attacker may impersonate an employee, claim their phone was lost, provide information gathered from social media, and pressure support staff into resetting authentication controls.

If an attacker can convince support to register a new authentication method, they may effectively transform a stolen password into fully authenticated access.

“I’m about to enter a client meeting” or “I need access immediately” creates pressure to bypass normal verification. Security procedures are most important when someone asks you to skip them.
Build Identity Verification Into Support Workflows
Require strong verification for sensitive resets, establish escalation procedures, train support teams against impersonation, and monitor unusual recovery activity. Your password policy can be excellent — but it won’t matter if an attacker can simply convince someone to reset it.
