From 2025 to 2026: Identity Security Insights and Priorities

Passwords remain one of the easiest entry points for attackers, and one of the biggest headaches for IT teams. From weak and reused credentials to compliance hurdles and endless helpdesk resets, poor password hygiene continues to leave organizations exposed to costly breaches, downtime, and reputational damage.

This Halloween, join us for a chilling journey into the password graveyard. We’ll revisit real-world breaches that could have been prevented, reveal why traditional password policies fail, and show how quickly attackers exploit exposed credentials. You’ll also see a live demo of how Specops empowers IT teams to enforce stronger, user-friendly, and compliance-ready password policies, blocking breached credentials in real time, customizing controls to your environment, and easing helpdesk strain.

Walk away with a clear, actionable plan to banish your password nightmares for good, without sacrificing the seamless user experience your workforce depends on. This webinar will dive into:
- The password horror reel: Real-world breach examples and their costly impact
- The scope of the problem: How compromised credentials drive the majority of breaches

Gesperrte Konten und frustrierte Nutzer – die Gefahr liegt in veralteten Passwortrichtlinien. Erfahren Sie im Webinar, wie moderne Sicherheitsstandards Passwörter stärken und Angreifern das Leben erschweren.

Der Blick auf den Bildschirm gefriert: „Zugriff verweigert“. Ein Passwort-Reset ist nötig – mal wieder. Während Nutzer frustriert neue Kombinationen erstellen, haben Angreifer mit schwachen oder kompromittierten Passwörtern ein leichtes Spiel.

Laut einer Umfrage von NordPass beträgt die Anzahl der geschäftlichen Passwörter im Durchschnitt 87. Diese Vielzahl erschwert die Verwaltung und erhöht das Risiko für Cyberangriffe. Kompromittierte Zugangsdaten zählen weiterhin zu den häufigsten Sicherheitslücken.

Wie lässt sich also der Spagat zwischen Sicherheitsanforderungen, strengen Richtlinien und Benutzerfreundlichkeit meistern? Das Webinar zeigt auf, wie Unternehmen ihre Passwortrichtlinien optimieren und gleichzeitig ein benutzerfreundliches Umfeld schaffen können – ohne die Sicherheit zu gefährden.

Highlights aus dem Webinar:
- Was macht ein Passwort wirklich sicher?
- Passwort-Schwachstellen gezielt aufdecken
- Benutzerfreundliche und starke Passwortrichtlinien - so einfach geht's

Wenn es darum geht, Benutzer zu identifizieren und authentisieren, ist die Kombination von Benutzernamen beziehungsweise E-Mail-Adresse und Passwort nach wie vor die verbreitetste Methode in Unternehmen. Damit kommt der Sicherheit der verwendeten Passwörter eine zentrale Funktion in der IT-Sicherheit des gesamten Unternehmens zu. Zum Schutz des Unternehmensnetzwerks und vertraulicher Daten, fordert das BSI daher, dass Passwörter in geeigneter Qualität (Je nach Einsatzzweck und Schutzbedarf) gewählt werden müssen.

In diesem Webinar wird Ihnen Stephan Halbmeier, Product Specialist bei Outpost24 zeigen, wie Sie mithilfe von Specops Password Policy, sowie weiteren Lösungen aus dem Portfolio von Specops Software, die Anforderungen des BSI IT-Grundschutz-Kompendiums an Passwörter im Segment ORP.4 umsetzen können.

Benutzernamen und Passwörter sind trotz ihrer Schwächen aus dem IT-Alltag nicht wegzudenken. Erfahren Sie im Webinar, wie Sie diese Authentifizierungsmethode wieder sicher und vertrauenswürdig gestalten.

In der digitalen Welt sind oftmals Passwörter der entscheidende Faktor, um zu bestimmen, ob jemand Zugriff auf das Unternehmensnetzwerk und sensible Daten erhält oder nicht. Doch leider sind diese Passwörter oftmals unzureichend stark oder bereits in den falschen Händen, weshalb Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung stehen, diese Authentifizierungsmethode so sicher wie möglich zu gestalten, wenn passwortlose Alternativen nicht in Frage kommen.

Laut dem Verizon 2024 Data Breach Report sind gestohlene oder kompromittierte Zugangsdaten weiterhin einer der häufigsten Angriffsvektoren von Cyber-Kriminellen.

Im Webinar-on-Demand zeigen wir Ihnen, wie einfach Unternehmen mithilfe von Third-Party-Tools Passwörter wieder zu einer starken und vertrauenswürdigen Authentifizierungsmethode machen können.

Dabei beleuchtet Stephan Halbmeier den Lebenszyklus eines Passwortes parallel zum Lebenszyklus eines Mitarbeiters in Ihrer Organisation. Von der sicheren Weitergabe des Passwortes am ersten Tag, über zusätzliche Authentifizierungsfaktoren, bis hin zu benutzerfreundlichen Kennwortrichtlinien und Accounthygiene beim Offboarding.

Sichere Authentifizierung gegen Active Directory - So einfach geht's!

Altlasten und Prozesslücken bieten Cyberkriminellen immer wieder Einfallstore. Wir zeigen, wie Unternehmen mithilfe von EASM ihre Angriffsfläche proaktiv überwachen können, bevor es zu spät ist.

Kennen Sie den tatsächlichen Umfang der Angriffsfläche Ihrer Organisation? Vertrauen Sie darauf, dass Prozessen und Workflows eingehalten und umgesetzt werden?

Verwaiste Assets, unzureichende Cyberhygiene, fehlende Zertifikate und mangelhaftes Consent Management für Cookies stellen jeweils eine ernste Gefahr für die Daten und Infrastruktur von Unternehmen dar.

Nur wer seine Angriffsfläche und alle darin exponierten Dienste vollständig im Blick hat, kann wirkungsvolle und rechtzeitige Maßnahmen gegen die zunehmend komplexen und raffinierten Cyberattacken umsetzen.

Im Webinar zeigen wir Ihnen eine Lösung, mit der Sie mögliche Gefahren in Ihrer Angriffsfläche aufdecken können, die klassische Vulnerability-Management-Tools nicht abdecken und wie Sie diese Lösung kostenlos für 14 Tage in Ihrer Organisation testen können.
