Password Guidelines

Weak passwords and compromised credentials have been among the top reasons behind cyber breaches for some time now. Did you know that simple passwords that are less than seven characters in length and can be cracked in mere seconds? Commonly used passwords such as “123456,” “password”, or even your dog’s name can be easily cracked and are not considered secure at all. 

Strong password controls are one of the most impactful ways you can protect your business from cyberattacks. And best of all, they don’t cost anything to implement! Have you implemented all these controls within your organization? Download PMMI’s Password and Access Management Checklist today!
