April 23rd: The Perpetual Password Threat (part 2) – Live from RSA
April 23, 2009
Passwords are far from perfect. In fact, they perhaps lull our end-users into a false sense of protection which can be more dangerous than no password at all. For the average user vigilance stops once that password is entered. But the bad guys can get to your users’ passwords to do all sorts of terrible things that damage not only your clients, customers, and employees, but also your network integrity as a whole – not to mention your reputation.
This episode is the second in our two-part series, The Perpetual Password Threat. In the first installment we talked about why passwords really don’t work and how you can make your company more secure. This time Steve and co-host Derek Brink, Vice President & Research Fellow at the Aberdeen Group, dive into the really sinister attacks that we need to protect against.
This special episode will air live from the RSA conference floor (booth 233) in San Francisco where the leaders in IT security are talking about the most cutting-edge methodologies to protect ourselves from these unknown assailants.
