Password Security – Now’s the time to get serious
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Did you know that over 80% of breaches involve brute force or lost and stolen credentials, and that over 70% of employees reuse passwords at work? Passwords are on your first line of defence against cyber-attacks and won’t be going away any time soon, getting this piece of the puzzle correct is foundational for cyber defence, the protection of your business and its data.

Live Demo: Supercharge Your Active Directory Password Policy

Join us for a 30-minute live demo of Specops Password Policy focusing on blocking weak passwords and creating compliant password policies.

Darren James, Technical lead at Specops will demonstrate how to:

  • Block weak passwords and create a password dictionary containing potential passwords relevant to your organisation
  • Apply Breached Password Protection to check against the latest leaked lists, including more than 2.5 billion leaked passwords.
  • Create compliant password policies and simplify passwords for users
  • Target password entropy and help users create stronger passwords in Active Directory

WATCH HERE!

Darren has over 25 years of experience in IT, having worked as a consultant across many sectors and many different sizes of organizations from central/local governments, to retail and energy companies. He specializes in IT Security, Active Directory, Azure AD, and Group Policy.
