Nadine Dorries password sharing - comment from OneLogin

December 2017 by Dan Powers, UK Manager at OneLogin

Dan Powers, UK Manager at OneLogin:

The news breaking over the weekend regarding Nadine Dories sharing her login and password information with colleagues and interns is deeply concerning. It’s a real-life reminder that good habits, attitudes and common sense to security is vital coupled with having the appropriate policies and technology in place to keep sensitive data and systems secure.

We must never underestimate the pivotal role and protection of the humble but strong password in making hackers’ lives harder while giving that bit more peace of mind to IT Directors and CEOs.

Passwords themselves are the stalwart of any cybersecurity policy serving as one of the frontline barriers to protect users, networks and data from cybercriminals.

Whether in the public or private sector a proactive approach is critical to avoiding data breaches and protecting network access and data. Here are four core elements that all businesses and IT departments should be considering:

Under no circumstances should passwords and log-in details be shared with anyone without the correct permissions and policies in place
Choose applications which let IT staff help ensure all users have strong passwords, such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) or OpenID Connect
Use modern multi-factor authentication, which ensures that OTPs cannot be stolen or re-routed to a hacker account
Strengthen your phishing defences. Most cyberattacks start with phishing emails. Train your employees how to spot these emails, and regularly run phishing assessments to measure their ability to do so
