About this talk

Passwords. They are the bane of end-users and security alike. Complexity, length and rotation requirements make modern passwords hard to remember and lead to the most basic of breaches: when the password is found on a sticky note. Are these requirements a result of the IT industry’s inability to design secure systems? What is the alternative? What makes a ‘strong’ password, and what does the ever-increasing power of high-end hacking tools mean for the password in the future? Join Computing and KnowBe4 as we discuss the importance (or not) of a password policy, what that policy should be and talk about the common mistakes organisations make when looking at passwords. In this webinar you'll learn: - Why passwords are so easy to hack, and how the bad guys do it - How to craft a secure, risk-focused password security policy - The truth about password managers and multi-factor authentication and how they impact our risk - How to empower your end users to become your best last line of defence
