Are employees undermining your security with weak and shared passwords?

While employees generally aim to maintain security, it's important to acknowledge the challenges posed by the increasing number of online accounts. Approximately 3-6% of employees use weak passwords and share them across multiple accounts. This insecure password behavior leads to leaked passwords, exploited in 81% of global cyberattacks. Moreover, businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees are targeted in 61% of these attacks.
