Password Policy: A Not-So-Simple Security Measure

Almost every business today relies on an internet connection that exposes its IT systems to a variety of threats. Since internet threats continue to evolve with technology, an effective security policy is essential. One of the critical first steps that your organization can take to protect your valuable data is to implement a password policy.

Establishing a password policy isn’t entirely simple. Decisions about password length, complexity, expiration, and other factors can complicate the decision. Information Shield products help you to develop a reliable security policy program based on ISO 17799 standards.
