Did you know 80% of all data breaches are caused by weak, reused or stolen passwords?
You are probably familiar with sites that provide password strength indicators and possibly felt frustrated when they wouldn’t let you use an easy to remember password. But you may not be aware of the dangers if you or your staff reuse the same password across various sites.
You see, when a password is stolen, the culprits then look for all the sites that share the same password. For example, it’s common for people to reuse favourite passwords across bank accounts or social media platforms or business software, etc.
So the theft of one password could open up multiple sites that you thought were password protected.
It’s an uncomfortable thought and it’s likely to be making your entire business vulnerable. But there is a simple solution you can use to protect the security of all your business information.
It’s called LastPass Business and it’s a software tool that simplifies password management for you, your employees and your in-house Administrators.
First and foremost, it makes password management easy for you and your staff by providing the highest security protocols without worrying about how to remember lots of different passwords.
How it works
Step 1: As your IT support provider, the Tresami team can work with you to develop a set of password management rules that are unique to your business. These rules are then used to generate passwords for each employee.
Step 2: Every staff member will be given their own “password vault” to securely store 100s of passwords and importantly, the vault doesn’t need a password to open it.
Instead, each password vault is unlocked using the LastPass Authenticator. If you wish, additional security checkpoints can be added to your system with the use of multifactor authorisation.
Do your staff collaborate on projects? With LastPass Business, folders can be shared across your organisation with customised access provided on an individual level. That means staff can only access data according to the authorisation level you allocate to them.
Big security for smaller businesses
LastPass Business is designed to provide smaller businesses with the same data security levels as big business – but without the big business price tag.
