These scores are based on criteria such as the number of duplicate passwords, multifactor authentication, and the average strength of each password in the organization. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are some of the key findings from the 2018 Global Password Security Report by LastPass: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The average security score was 52 (Fair), indicating enterprises are only performing the minimum of password security. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The average password security score decreased as enterprises scale upwards. Enterprises with 25 or fewer employees had an average score of 50, while those with over 500 employees had an average score of 46. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As industries, Retail, Manufacturing, and Insurance had the lowest password security scores on average (48, 48, and 47 respectively). Technology and Software as an industry had the highest average with 53. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">45% of enterprises are using multifactor authentication, an increase from 2017\u2019s 24.5%. Small enterprises have embraced MFA more thoroughly than large enterprises. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, LastPass believes some enterprises are excelling in password security, but many are still suffering from password duplication and weak passwords. Enterprises appear to be struggling far more overall with password security than SMBs. LastPass speculates that enterprises are often more constrained by competing priorities and bureaucratic red tape than SMBs. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can read LastPass\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lastpass.com\/2018\/10\/introducing-2018-global-password-security-report-lastpass.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2018 Global Password Security Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in full here. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Other Resources:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/10-best-privileged-access-management-platforms-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 10 Best Privileged Access Management Platforms of 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/10-coolest-identity-security-ceo-leaders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 10 Coolest IAM and Identity Security CEO Leaders<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/privileged-access-credentials-identity-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privileged Access Credentials (With Identity Automation)<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/importance-edge-use-access-identity-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Importance of Edge Use Access (With Identity Automation)<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/managing-third-party-privileges-identity-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Managing Third-Party Privileges with Identity Automation<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/iam-vs-ciam-whats-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IAM vs CIAM: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/the-role-of-identity-in-digital-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Role of Identity in Digital Transformation<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/current-state-biometric-authentication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Current State of Biometric Authentication in IAM<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/comparing-the-top-identity-and-access-management-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Comparing the Top Identity and Access Management Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/the-32-best-identity-and-access-management-platforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 32 Best Identity and Access Management Platforms for 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, password management solution provider LastPass released \u201cThe 2018 Global Password Security Report.\u201d The report analyzed and ranked 43,000 enterprises spanning industries, verticals, and sizes that incorporate the LastPass business password manager in their security policies.
