Update Passwords

Passwords such as "123456" and "password" continue to hold the top spots for most popular passwords, according to SplashData. If yours or a client organization is guilty, Cyber Security Awareness month is an opportune time to update those passwords. For businesses, encouraging employees to update passwords frequently and use best practices is key. To pick the best password, renowned security expert Bruce Schneier recommends, if possible, choosing a random combination of alphanumeric characters and symbols, never reusing a password, and using two-factor authentication.
