Enterprise paswords are typically compromised due to

Use of Default Paswords – Many IT assets, especially devices, have a default pasword applied out of the box. End users are also often granted initial access to corporate systems through a pasword created by the IT team. Using these default credentials makes pasword compromise easy for cyberattackers Creation of Weak Paswords – Paswords that are short and have limited character variety or are linked to the identity of the user (e.g., birthday combined with name of spouse) are easy to guess and therefore easy to compromise Pasword Reuse – End users may create one pasword that is used across multiple services. Threat actors that obtain the pasword by compromising one service can now use the pasword to gain access to other services. The Colonial Pipeline attack in the USA, which resulted in fuel shortages, was made possible by pasword reuse Pasword Recycling – End users may use older paswords again after an interval of time, allowing threat actors to enter the organisation through paswords that have been previously compromised Pasword Sharing – Employees who are in the habit of sharing paswords amongst themselves increase the probability of an internal threat actor misusing the shared paswords, or selling the paswords to an external threat actor Poor Pasword Storage – End users may store paswords in plain text files which may be exfiltrated by cyberattackers, or leave them written on their desks where they may be stolen by anyone with physical access to the desk This may be considered a list of worst practices in the context of pasword security. Let us now understand how threat actors may obtain these paswords.

The Pasword Policy?

You are always asked to make your pasword of at least 12 characters that should contain a number, lower and upper case letters, and a symbol. Then sometimes it rates its strength of being guessed. Enforcing a strong pasword policy for the legal department can be an effective way to protect its sensitive data. Paswords should be refreshed regularly for added safety and security.

For Enterprise Products?

Open “K7 Enterprise Security”, go to “Manage Clients” and then to “Device Control” and select the “Enable Pasword” checkbox to set the pasword for the product as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Setting the pasword for product protection Now go to “Client Privileges” on the same console and uncheck (if already checked) Disable/Enable AntiVirus Protection Change AntiVirus Settings Uninstall Endpoint Security Figure 2: Setting the Client Privileges With this set, the user would not be able to uninstall the product without administrator’s intervention. This is easier said than done for enterprises as the user and owner of the product would usually be different. The user could be the employee of the organization and the owner, the organization itself, so securing the pasword from misuse is something that the organizations need to take care of by passing the baton to its administrators and leave it to them for deciding the access that should be given to its employees by strictly following the principle of least privilege. We make this task easier for enterprise administrators as we allow them to set various policies for a subset of its users, so that they can only use our product with set restrictions. For Consumer Products We have used our “K7 Total Security” product here as an example but we have this feature in all of our consumer products. Let us now see how to enable the same in it. Open “K7 Total Security” and click on the Settings tab. From there, click on General Settings which will take you to Access Control as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3: Settings Home Page Figure 4: Settings for Access Control From the Access Control tab select “Needs pasword access to change settings and disable protection” and then click on the link “Click here to change or set pasword” as shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5: Setting to enable pasword protection Figure 6: Link to change the pasword With this pasword setting enabled, no one would be able to disable protection that you have configured without knowing the pasword. Precautionary Measures Use a strong pasword. This is applicable for organizations and end users alike Do not store paswords in the same system where you have enabled the settings Back up your critical data for additional security Protect your system with a reputable security product like “K7 Total Security” for Windows, and “K7 Endpoint Security” for Enterprises and keep it up to date
