KnowBe4 is offering a no-cost password kit to
help end users practice good password hygiene and strengthen their
defenses against social engineering
TAMPA
BAY, Fla., May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowBe4, the
provider of the world's largest security awareness training and
simulated phishing platform, today announced the launch of a new
password kit to help end users and organizations practice good
password hygiene in recognition of World Password Day.
Passwords are an integral part of so many daily lives and
routines. They are the key to accessing some of the most important
resources people rely on every day to unlock phones, log in to work
devices, email, bank accounts and so much more. According to
Verizon's 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of an
organization's breaches can be attributed to stolen credentials
(usernames and passwords). Additionally, the report credits the use
of stolen credentials as the second biggest threats to businesses,
following ransomware. Because of this, having strong, unique
passwords for any and all accounts is essential to protecting and
securing privacy.
KnowBe4's password kit will include user resources such as
access to a free on-demand webinar titled "The Good, the Bad and
the Truth About Password Managers" featuring Roger A. Grimes, KnowBe4's data-driven defense
evangelist, KnowBe4's most popular password whitepaper, "What Your
Password Policy Should Be e-Book", password hacking demo videos
from Kevin Mitnick, a password best
practices guide and more.
"It is imperative that all end users and organizations take
password security seriously; one cracked password can have
detrimental effects on multiple aspects of life, both
professionally and personally," said Stu
Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "KnowBe4 recognizes the
significance of this vulnerability, which is why we are
acknowledging World Password Day with the launch of our new
password kit. This kit features helpful tools and resources that
enable end users to make smart password choices and practice good
password hygiene in order to better protect themselves and
strengthen the overall security culture of their organization."
