The biggest threat is credential compromise. Once an employee’s password is out there, it creates the opportunity for a big payday for criminals.
Once in, even through the tiniest crack, cybercriminals can launch a bigger attack, breaking companies’ defenses to steal more valuable data, lock up their systems or hold companies hostage with ransom demands.
It is estimated that there are 24.6 billion sets of usernames and passwords in circulation on the dark web. That is four for every person on the planet.
When hackers get your employees’ personal information, it’s a double hit to a business. The average person spends 100-200 hours trying to recover from identity theft. Those hours and the stress that ensues often translates into lower productivity at work.
