Cyber Notes Cast - What Is the Risk of Hardcoded Passwords For Your Business?

About this talk

Today’s organizations rely on numerous business applications, web services, and custom software solutions to meet business communications and other transaction requirements. Typically, multiple applications frequently require access to databases and other applications to query business-related information. This communication process is usually automated by embedding the application’s credentials in unencrypted text in configuration files and scripts. Administrators often find it difficult to identify, change, and manage these credentials. As a result, passwords remain unchanged, which may lead to unauthorized access to confidential systems. Thus, hardcoded passwords can facilitate the work of technicians, but can also be an easy entry point for malicious agents. In this Cyber Notes Cast you will see more about what hardcoded passwords are and how to manage this feature with security. Enjoy this Cyber Notes Cast!
