The Verizon 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed that 63% of all data breaches are caused by weak or lost passwords. Passwords are difficult to keep track of as everyone with access to your business’ network system has one. To this end, there is a need for a comprehensive password policy.

The best way to keep passwords secure is by changing them periodically – this can be weekly, daily, or even hourly depending on the issue’s sensitivity. You should also educate your employees on the best practices for passwords – for instance; they should know how to make their passwords stronger through creativity. Finally, every employee should be held accountable if his/her password is breached.

A 2016 research by Tech-Pro reports that 59% of businesses allow their employees to bring their own devices to work. Additionally, many of your employees will not think twice about accessing your business’ network using their mobile devices while on the go. This is convenient and even unavoidable, but it also increases the risk of threats in network security many times over.
