This is the fifth in a series about the concept of Zero Trust, which means in the IT sense that you trust nothing and always verify everything surrounding and connected to your network. Today’s discussion will be on password management.
Password Management
Password management is the concept that you are not using the same password for all sites and services. So it is necessary to have a means to track and protect those passwords from others accessing or using them without consent. Here are some questions that you should be asking yourself:
How do you keep track of passwords? paper? spreadsheet? program?
Are your passwords encrypted? Are they guessable? Are they changed regularly?
Do you have a password policy?
What do you do when someone leaves the company?
Do you take advantage of 2FA or MFA?
Do you take advantage of single sign-on?
Take time to think about these questions and decide where changes can be made to better protect your passwords, or contact us to do the thinking for you.
