Organizations can strengthen their defenses by eradicating the risk of passwords.
They can also purchase lists of passwords from the dark web or access passwords through malware. This includes techniques like brute-force attacks and credential stuffing, in which attackers use compromised login credentials from other data breaches to gain access to corporate systems. As a result, credential vulnerabilities were responsible for more than 61% of data breaches, according to insight from Verizon’s 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR).Ĭyber criminals are also increasingly deploying more sophisticated attack methods. Not only do people tend to use weak passwords that they can remember, but they also recycle these logins across multiple accounts. While protecting user accounts with strong, unique passwords is extremely necessary, it is increasingly crucial for organizations to look beyond login credentials and go passwordless.
