Introduction - be careful when sharing passwords at work
As technology is evolving faster than we are, cyberattacks are becoming an increasingly common event with a higher success rate than ever before. But what exactly is a cyberattack? This is any type of offensive maneuver that targets computer information systems, infrastructures, computer networks, or personal computer devices. (source:
Wikipedia article about Cyberattack) In the computer science, an attacker is the individual or organization who performs the malicious activities to destroy, expose, alter, disable, steal or gain unauthorized access to or make unauthorized use of an asset. Now, imagine the people behind these attacks as giant sharks which are constantly searching for their prey in the endless sea of information and data on the Internet. And there are indeed plenty of small fishes there. If you and your company does not want to be one of them, and eventually get eaten by these sharks, it is best to take your password security at the next level. You need to adopt a new approach to manage and share passwords at work.
Why using password manager at your company is crucial?
Non-profit researches show that the majority of people use very weak passwords and reuse them on different websites and tools. It is definitely the easiest way from the user end, but is it the safest one? The answer is NO. By using same or equally weak passwords on many tools and websites at a time, the chances to become a prey for cyber attackers are increasing enormously, as the breaching process will be way more simplified for them. So you probably asked yourself at least one time in your life: “How can I protect all my accounts by using strong and unique passwords on all the tools and websites I use?” The solution is called password manager. There are two main benefits of such manager. The first one is that you don’t have to memorize all your passwords anymore as you have ONE master password which you can use for access to your other stored passwords vault. The second advantage is that a password manager can also auto-generate highly secure passwords for you, whenever you create a new account on a website, application or tool. As usage progresses, you will start to recognize all of the additional benefits of such manager (saving time, synchronization across different OS etc.)
