Join us to discover why password security is more than a personal annoyance; itโ€™s an important business defence. Passwords are the first-line in protecting your data from cyber threats, yet many underestimate their importance - until itโ€™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, weโ€™ll cover everything from creating complex passwords and passphrases, to using two-factor authentication effectively. Weโ€™ll dive into common pitfalls like password reuse and saving passwords in web browsers, and how these vulnerabilities can be exploited by hackers and scammers to gain access to your data.
