Thomas LaRock, SolarWinds Head Geek™ comment the World Password Day.
“With cyberattacks on the rise and sophisticated nation state actors capable of penetrating even
the strongest and most secure companies, it’s critical for employees to collectively follow best
practices.
“On World Password Day, it’s important to remember that cybersecurity is not just the
responsibility of IT departments, but of all employees. This means deploying additional security
techniques such as two-factor authentication and making sure you have good password
hygiene.
“Human-centric failure points, like passwords, are often used by threat actors to gain initial
access and find vulnerabilities within a system. As a result, it’s more important than ever to
strengthen secure software development and focus on the people that play a role in ensuring
security practices are being met.”
