Small businesses need strong password policies Human error is responsible for 88 percent of data breaches. This means someone's unintentional actions, or failure to take action like updating to much stronger passwords, caused the breach. Unfortunately, weak passwords often play a role during cyber security acts. Hackers target login portals with brute force attacks, trying various passwords to see if one fits. Often, criminals use lists of the most common phrases like qwerty, 12345678, and 1q2w3e. Employees use these because they're easy to remember. But by doing so, they may welcome interlopers into your hardware and software. Once a hacker gains access to platforms, back-ends, databases, payment information or other sensitive data, they can create chaos. And if this happens, you're not only at risk of suffering financial losses, but also brand damage. Customers may no longer trust your organization, especially if they get caught in the crossfire and their private info gets exposed (i.e. credit card numbers). Fortunately, simply strengthening passwords can ward off hackers before they ever get into your systems. That's why businesses big and small should implement strong password policies. Such guidelines require complex passwords, like mandating capital letters, numbers + symbols. Further, you can blacklist common, weak phrases like "password1234."
