Your company’s cyber protection is only strong as your company’s weakest password.
As a business owner, your reputation is of utmost importance. One mistake can jeopardize your success.
It’s unfortunate— but realistic—that your employees don’t share your devotion or urgency to protect internal data. This means you’re only as strong as your organization’s weakest password. And, according to a recent study by Verizon, 63% of data breaches are caused by weak, stolen or reused credentials.
With that in mind, it becomes increasingly important for business owners to be proactive. How can you ensure your employees are creating and storing passwords well?
Tips for strengthening your passwords internally.
- Never allow an admin to manage software or assets under their name. Always insist accounts are under the organization’s name.
- Centralized ownership and control over passwords.
- Immediately reset passwords after employees leave.
- Create role-based access permissions.
- Require your employees to change their password every 90 days.
- Create password requirements to ensure their strength.
Staying on top of password protection can be difficult. To take control of your employee’s password strength, it’s on the employer to provide the tools necessary for success.
Provide your employees with EZPD.
When a company requires employees to change their password often, running out of password ideas is commonplace. The process can cause less creativity or redundancy with passwords used. So, it should come as no surprise that 73% of online accounts are guarded by duplicate passwords.
Using duplicate passwords is risky because if one account is hacked it can create a snowball situation. Any data in your network, protected by duplicated passwords, will be at risk in the event of a data breach.
Which makes EZPD a viable solution for business owners.
EZPD is revolutionary password manager that allows its users to easily generate and regenerate complex passwords. Users can specify what characters, symbols and length to meet their password requirements. Then, at the click of a button, a password will be generated. EZPD also offers several features unheard of in current password management systems. This eliminates password syndrome and creates unique benefits for an organization.
A cloak of invisibility
One of the differentiating features of EZPD, compared to other password managers, is that you never have to store your passwords.
- Users can access their passwords from any device. After sign in to their account, they can generate a new password or regenerate the same password on demand at the click of a button.
- When a user generates or regenerates a password with EZPD, users can simply copy the password, and paste it into the necessary password field.
EZPD makes user’s passwords invisible. This cloak of invisibility makes it difficult for passwords to be stolen.
Sharing of group passwords
EZPD allows its users to share group passwords without sending them. If any group member needs to share a sensitive data file, the best way is to protect the file with a password and find a way to share the password securely. It is risky to send the password via email, chat or as a written note.
Any group member can regenerate the same group password for the password protected sensitive file or web account. Therefore, there is no need to send it electronically or manually.
