Password Security

Weak passwords are a hacker’s easiest way into your business network. Stronger security starts with password best practices.

Actionable Steps Avoid Ransomware:

• Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords.
• Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all sensitive accounts.
• Require password changes every 90 days for critical systems.
