Poll of attendees finds that additional authentication methods and security controls moving passwords to the background are reshaping password security

GUEST RESEARCH: Delinea, a leading provider of solutions that seamlessly extend Privileged Access Management (PAM), today announced results from a survey at the 2023 BlackHat USA Conference in Las Vegas last week, finding that password security continues to be a highly relevant topic even as cybersecurity strategies move toward a passwordless future. Of 100 business hall attendees polled, 54% said that “passwordless” is a viable concept while 79% agreed that passwords are evolving or becoming obsolete.

Guest Opinion: Password security continues to be a challenge for people and businesses across the world, and in the wake of the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack where a single password was the key to hackers breaching the entire network, businesses should assess their own password practices.

SMBs are the primary target for cyber attacks, yet most are unprepared and “severely underestimate their cyber security vulnerabilities” when it comes to cyber criminals and cyber security risks, according to research of the US market.
