Are user names and passwords adequate for securing online sites, networked systems and individual computers?
Unfortunately, passwords are easily compromised. Because they function like a key to a lock, anyone who has that key can gain access to corporate information. Given the number of different passwords that individuals are supposed to remember, we often use the same ones over and over, so that once one is guessed, the others are easily compromised. In addition, hackers use automated systems to guess thousands of user names and passwords in a matter of a few minutes. Beyond being cracked or guessed, passwords may also be stolen or deliberately shared. So user names and passwords aren’t very good at keeping out pros who really want to get in. And unfortunately, the more valuable information that is in a system, the more the bad guys want to get in. Is it prudent to outsource digital security? For a number of reasons, yes. Unlike traditional PKI and private certificate authority options, outsourced digital solutions can often be implemented in 70% less time and at 70% less cost. Outsourcing
