LastPass Cybersecurity 101 Guide

John McTigueSeptember 20, 2022
By now, you are aware of the growing frequency of hackers targeting small businesses and the potential danger that raises for your company. Sadly, awareness isn’t enough to prevent such attacks, because we are all vulnerable at a fundamental level - our login credentials to the many applications we use every day. By stealing our usernames and passwords, hackers can gain access to our most critical systems and information, and it’s easy for them to do so with email or text phishing attacks aimed at individual users and stolen data from previously compromised networks. Over 80% of data breaches are the result of poor password security practices, so that’s an important first challenge to overcome. We want to provide a step-by-step approach to getting started and resources you can use to support your team. To work through these steps and exercises, you will need a LastPass account.
