Talking 5 with Cyber Security Member Specops Software

In techUK’s first ‘Talking 5, Cyber’ interview, our Head of Cyber Security, Dan Patefield talks to Darren James from Specops Software about password security.

Darren spends his time helping companies to solve password-related problems, including improving password policies, implementing a self-service password reset solution of improving Multi-Factor Authentication. In this conversation, he and Dan cover:

  • why we’re still talking about passwords;

  • how passwords continue to be part of the authentication process;

  • how to ensure passwords are as secure and resilient as possible; and

  • what a password auditor tool is and how to use it.
