Over 80% of cybersecurity incidents are caused by bad passwords. Bad passwords are bad for business!
To keep your data safe and secure, start by avoiding the top 3 password fails and implementing these top 3
password wins:
PASSWORD FAIL #1:
Recycling the same password for multiple accounts. While we do encourage recycling, we highly discourage recycling your password!
PASSWORD WIN #1:
Add multi-factor authentication (MFA) for every user. Weak user-made passwords are strengthened with a second identifier.
PASSWORD FAIL #2:
Being Too Familiar. Don’t use: loved ones’ names (pets included), maiden names,
hometowns, birthdays, wedding dates or anything else that can be gleaned with Online research.
PASSWORD WIN #2:
Stay Educated. Constantly train and educate your Team about good cybersecurity habits. At CTTS, we offer regular, automated, security awareness training for all employees.
PASSWORD FAIL #3:
Storing Password on your personal device or in a "cheat sheet." If hackers gain access to this list, you've just handed the keys to your company over to cybercriminals. Use a password manager to securely keep tabs on all your credentials.
PASSWORD WIN #3:
Watch the Dark Web. Sensitive personal or company data may be circulating even if you haven’t had a breach. At CTTS, we can keep an eye out for your company on the Dark Web, to make sure you haven't already been compromised and to alert you if a breach does happen. Call now for a
