That’s because it’s hard to completely eradicate weak practice around password use – anyone can be vulnerable to psychological manipulation, or social engineering based risks like sophisticated smishing, phishing, vishing and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Social engineering attacks manipulate people into revealing information they shouldn\u2019t or making other mistakes – and the risk expands with generative AI use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LastPass polling suggests<\/u><\/strong><\/a> many organisations may benefit from better approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, all organisations should ensure that anyone using company systems knows to verify messages are from legitimate business contacts, as well as being careful with – for example – attachments, unfamiliar multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompts, or requests to respond with a high level of urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LastPass has found that<\/a> <\/u><\/strong>70.47% of respondents test their staff’s abilities around recognising and dealing with phishing attacks and 52.00% use externally generated phish email testing from partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, only 30.99% said they do any smishing or vishing testing, and a mere 0.52% indicate that they’re taking any other action in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LastPass revealed that<\/u><\/strong><\/a> 88% indicate they’re confident when it comes to their phishing test programmes – yet perceptions may not match reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interestingly for channel partners, few users in these programmes actually report suspicious activity. Given the prevalence of social engineering attacks, this might be cause for concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Password managers can help, but only 61% of respondents in the LastPass survey<\/u><\/strong><\/a> were already using these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, preventing user credential exposure hinges on behaviour. That means using fewer passwords overall and adopting non-phishable passkeys instead can be a key pillar in an effective defence framework – and organisations do recognise this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organisations can prepare for a password-free future by moving to pervasive password management as offered by LastPass<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, reducing both the need for ‘password hygiene’ and reliance on human behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out these customer case studies<\/u><\/strong><\/a> from LastPass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And when you’re ready, the QBS team<\/u><\/strong><\/a> is always here to help and answer further questions as they emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email QBS at: sales@qbssoftware.com<\/a> <\/a><\/u><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n ( Photo by Kenny Eliason<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a> )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reduce the cybersecurity and risk burden with LastPass, using modern password management techniques to take back productivity while ramping up organisational defences.
