Increased security risks, heightened compliance regulations, distributed workforces and personnel turnover all create password-related challenges that have prompted organizations across the globe to improve their cybersecurity posture. To this day, stolen and weak passwords are the leading cause of data breaches, yet most organizations have no visibility, security or control over their users’ passwords, credentials and secrets.
Virtual private networks (VPNs) were introduced roughly two decades ago with the idea that creating an encrypted tunnel directly from a computer device to a network would provide secure access to company resources and communications from remote locations. VPN performance was notoriously sluggish, and they were difficult and time consuming for IT to administer, but at least the appliances were secure. Or so people thought.
There are several types of phishing cyberattacks such as smishing, whaling and spear phishing. It’s important to understand the different types of phishing attacks there are so you’re able to spot them. Knowing the different types of phishing attacks can make all the difference in keeping your information protected. Continue reading to learn more about the different types of phishing attacks and how you can keep yourself safe from them.
Organisations across the UK and Ireland must take precautions to protect their systems to reduce their risk of cyberattack.
The Biden Administration’s 35-page National Cybersecurity Strategy released in March 2023 emphasizes the growing importance of cybersecurity for both private companies and federal agencies. The strategy specifically highlights ransomware as a significant concern, particularly in terms of its impact on private companies that collaborate with the federal government or are critical to national security.

A privacy policy is a statement that companies have on their website that informs users about the collection, processing, protection and use of their private data. Users are often prompted to review and accept privacy policies, but many of them don’t read through these policies because they don’t think it’s necessary. It’s important to read through these policies to know what information is being collected and how it’s being used.
Regular rotation of passwords, keys and privileged credentials is a critical best practice that greatly reduces an organization’s risk of falling victim to cyberattacks. By limiting the lifespan of a password, organizations can reduce the amount of time during which a compromised password may be valid. Password, key and credential rotation – a feature of Privileged Access Management (PAM) – enables organizations to reset privileged credentials on an automated schedule.
Keeper’s Enterprise Password Manager is the only solution that uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in its encryption, making it the most secure password management solution available. ECC is a public-key cryptography method based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. First proposed in 1985, it recently rose to prominence with modern cryptography as it provides a higher level of security compared to traditional encryption methods, such as RSA.
Last year, Keeper Security unveiled One-Time Share, a secure and convenient way for Keeper users to share credentials with anyone, including those that are not Keeper users. Since its launch, many of our customers have grown to rely on One-Time Share, including in cases where they need the ability to set time duration. As a result, we’ve made expanding the options for setting and modifying time-limited access a top priority.
