When setting up a office/corporate network environment, users may complain that it is frustrating to have to change their password every so often, or have to come up with difficult passwords. Despise the user’s arguments, although valid, remember the security risk that it poses. If you have simple passwords, maybe something common that all users share, it’s easy for unauthorized access into the system. If someone guesses or gets hold of one user’s password, it may be possible to guess the rest. Protect your data and files – enforce a password policy on your network, with an expiration on passwords. Use requirements such as at least one capital letter, and a number or special character to increase security. Your data is YOUR data – so make sure it’s safe from prying eyes!
