Three Steps for Assessing Password Risks for CIOs and CISOs

April 3, 2023


When 921 password attacks occur per second1,  it’s time to treat employees’ credentials to business applications like the true operational risk they are. Too much is at stake to simply manage passwords — we need to protect them with enterprise-grade controls. For CIOs and CISOs, the first step to solve the problem is conducting a strategic risk assessment. Read this brief guide to learn best practices for:

  • Identifying risks stemming from widely used applications that are incompatible with single sign-on tools.
  • Pinpointing security gaps around traditional password manager tools that lack the controls and visibility IT and security leaders need.
  • Evaluating whether your organization has controls in place to protect how employees’ passwords are stored, retrieved, created and shared.
