Are We Taking Enterprise Password Management Seriously?
Gigaom, Monday, August 19th, 2024
Passwords are the keys to your digital assets: it's how we access applications and data, as well as infrastructure and systems. Often they are characters we type in as part of a logon prompt, but they can also be hidden in code, as an application makes a call to other resources to carry out its tasks.
The management of passwords is a complex process for both operations teams and users. Unfortunately, that complexity often leads to poor password practices, making passwords a high-priority target for cybercriminals: they know that gaining access to the right credentials can give them the keys to an organization's data kingdom. And that can lead to data breaches that compromise security, productivity, and reputation.
