Brand-New Tool: Password Exposure Test Identifies Risky Users

Stu Sjouwerman | Jan 15, 2019

Cybercriminals are constantly coming out with new ways to hack into your network and steal your organization’s confidential information. According to the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Report, 81 percent of hacking-related breaches used either stolen and/or weak passwords. New data from Dark Reading’s annual Strategic Security Survey finds that 44 percent of organizations say authorized users and employees pose the greatest threat to data security. And 61 percent of organizations believe negligent users will be the primary cause of a data breach in the next 12 months.

Find out if your users are putting a big target on your organization’s back.

KnowBe4’s Password Exposure Test (PET) is a new and complimentary IT security tool that allows you to run an in-depth analysis of your organization’s hidden exposure risk associated with your users.

“Understanding who your most vulnerable users are will help you make better risk-based business decisions,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “It will also allow you to tailor your security awareness training to that at-risk group to help make them a stronger ‘human firewall’. It’s important to understand that users are the principal reason why your organization may face a hacked network or data breach. A tool like the new Password Exposure Test can help you better manage user risks within your organization.”
