New Trouble Comes From Users Who Rarely Update Their Passwords

    

Despite years of advocacy and continual advice to update passwords frequently, the majority of victims fail to follow through on this priority. According to research by the Carnegie Mellon University’s CyLap, even after a data breach, users rarely voluntarily update their credentials, and only 13% even did so within three months of a known breach.

Updating passwords consistently is an essential security tool. Part of protecting a company’s data and systems from bad actors requires knowing when that company’s credentials have been compromised – and that compromise isn’t always on them. A third party breach could put corporate passwords at risk unexpectedly. 

Is your password a failure or a winner? See how yours measures up!

Given the high number of compromised credentials available on the Dark Web, updating passwords after a breach is a critical recovery act that can help limit the scope and impact of the breach. Dark Web ID is an essential tool for finding out if company credentials have been compromised in someone else’s breach.

Small Businesses Suffer More Than A Quarter of all Breaches

    

According to Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report, small businesses are increasingly the target of cybercriminals. The report, which analyzed more than 157,000 cybersecurity incidents, found that 28% were directed at small businesses. Previously, cybercriminals have targeted larger organizations as the rate of return was often higher. However, a transition to cloud computing and the use of social engineering attacks, like phishing scams, has increased the risk for small businesses.  

In response, it’s clear that small businesses need to prioritize cybersecurity as a data breach has an outsized effect on smaller organizations. Among other recommendations, the report encourages small businesses to invest in continuous vulnerability management, secure their email infrastructure to protect themselves from the growing threat of phishing attacks. It’s also essential that companies recognize and identify insider threat sources and eliminate them as quickly as possible. 

Knowing that small businesses often lack the in-house cybersecurity resources to implement a 360-degree defensive strategy, MSPs have an opportunity to reach out to small business customers to build a partnership that fills that gap effectively and affordably to provide essential cybersecurity support in this tumultuous time.  .

Using tools and services that support good password hygiene, offering things like single sign-on, two-factor authentication, and other password-oriented enhancements, and enforcing stricter password reuse and sharing policies can help mitigate the risk of password compromise through password reuse and weakness.

Cyber Insurers Increase Scrutiny of COVID-19 Claims As the Pandemic Increases Their Submission

Businesses hoping to rely on cybersecurity insurance coverage to offset the cost of a data breach may have a more difficult time recouping their losses. According to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, insurers are becoming increasingly critical of cybersecurity-related claims. Specifically, companies are adding questions to surveys used to calculate premiums and assess damages.

In some ways, this change is the result of a rapid shift to remote work. As we’ve covered extensively, remote work comes with many cybersecurity risks, and insurers are hedging their bets, assuming that they could incur an influx of claims as companies fail to grapple with the ramifications of remote work. For businesses, this is a reminder that they shouldn’t rely on cyber insurance to bail them out if they have a cybersecurity incident. Instead, they should invest in the tools that can prevent a cybersecurity incident in the first place.
