Obviously, we don’t want to spoil the video for you; it contains key insights on the foundation of modern enterprise cybersecurity. You should check it out on our Youtube channel. However, we do want to elucidate the history of the password, as it demonstrates how this technology evolves.
As a digital capability, Fernando Corbató first developed the password in the 1960s; of course, they existed in physical and verbal form for centuries beforehand. This digital innovation worked to secure the early corporate networks of the 1980s. Yet as passwords entered the 21st century, they began to show some wear and tear. Unfortunately, as password cracking techniques and tools improve and proliferate, passwords become less reliable. Often, hackers can find the relevant information to guess passwords with a cursory glance at social media profiles.
Now, enterprises recognize the need to either supplement or replace their passwords with multifactor authentication; the more factors between the user and the data requested, the more secure it becomes.
