Over the past few years, cybersecurity has grown into a $1T problem and is on track to reach $10 trillion by 2025. Yes, trillions with a ‘T’.
Cybercriminals have realized the opportunity that remote work presents for attacking businesses of all sizes. If you think your SMB clients might fly under the radar, this past year has proven that cyberattacks are not limited to only enterprises.
Every successful breach on corporations, local governments, hospitals and infrastructure systems makes cybercriminals bolder and in need of more targets. These cybercriminals know that most small businesses have not yet invested in the resources required to reduce cyber risk. Therefore, they’re also aware that many small business employees are not using safe password practices, leaving themselves and the company open to attack. In some polls, as many as two-thirds of users admit to using the identical password across several apps, websites, and services both on their private and work accounts.
Keeping clients secure is a growing challenge, and poor password management should be a priority
With more and more cloud apps and websites being utilized by employees to successfully do their job, those employees also need to manage more and more credentials. The number of passwords that the average employee needs to manage is 191! With this onslaught of credentials and access points, managed service providers (MSPs) are challenged to ensure that each access point to the business is secure and good password hygiene is being followed.
Because of this, it’s imperative for MSPs and other cloud providers to offer business password management. Our experts have done the research for you, and we believe LastPass is a great option for keeping clients safe and secure.
