The risk posed to businesses by poor password management is huge. A username and password that falls into the wrong hands can be used to gain access to all kinds of systems, from enterprise to personal. They can be used to steal data, money, deploy malware or carry out reconnaissance on a future target.
How do we end up with poor password practice? Often because we ask too much of our users, we want passwords to multiple systems, we want long and complex passwords, and we want them to change regularly. All of this is too much for the human mind to cope with, which leads to poor and risky practices.
On this week's show, the team discuss these challenges, some risks to consider and steps to take to reduce the risks. The team also chat about why enterprise password managers can have a significant impact on improving password practices and reducing security risks across your organization.
