Security Nudge. Get Serious About Using Strong Passwords. Sponsored By CybSafe.

How secure are you? If you think your passwords are strong and unique, you may want to think again. After all, they are the first line of defense when it comes to protecting your corporate email account, social media services, business applications, and so on. Based on the results of the latest survey of password habits – conducted annually by security firm NordPass – chances are that you’re not as secure as you hoped. The most common password that people use at work is 123456 – followed closely by 123456789, 12345678, and the words ‘secret’ and ‘password’. Rounding out the top 10 are q-w-e-r-t-y-123 – popular because it uses a common sequence of adjacent keys – and the numbers 111111, and 123123. These are the same passwords people are using for their personal accounts – meaning that lazy password habits are leaving companies and individuals exposed around the globe. It’s time to get serious about using strong passwords. The 60-second "Security Nudge" is brought to you by CybSafe, developers of the Human Risk Management Platform. Learn more at https://cybsafe.com
