How to Go Passwordless at Your Organization to Reduce Cybersecurity Risk

Password Management Explained from Federation and PasswordManagers to Adaptive Authentication, and Legacy Solutions

Passwords pose significant problems for organizations and users alike, precisely due to their evergrowing abundance and complexity:

  • Users struggle to recall strong passwords
  • Users struggle to remember many passwords
  • Users use password hints inappropriately that make social attacks on passwords easy

Your organization needs to strike a balance between the flexibility of a password manager and a vaulting solution. It sets your baseline where you can store anything in it.

There is a great deal of hype in the market for passwordless technologies but you need to adopt a strategy and a mentality where a baseline is established that everyone in the company can use for every application they use. Once that baseline is established you can then begin the process of optimizing points of risk by introducing a least password strategy and drive towards adopting better technologies and strategies using iterative projects prioritized by their risk to your enterprise. 

With this guide from Bravura Security, your organization can begin its least-password journey. We will provide a helpful overview of what approaches and methods are available (legacy and modern) along with their use cases, strengths, and weaknesses to create a viable strategy that establishes your “level 1” baseline for all employees in your cyber security maturity model with practical strategies to grow beyond level 1.
