Join us to discover why password security is more than a personal annoyance; it’s an important business defence. Passwords are the first-line in protecting your data from cyber threats, yet many underestimate their importance - until it’s too late. This session empowers you with actionable insights, letting you ask questions and engage with cyber security experts on real-life password management challenges.
In this LinkedIn Live event, we’ll cover everything from creating complex passwords and passphrases, to using two-factor authentication effectively.
