Keeper is available for both personal and business users. It is trusted by millions of users and thousands of businesses worldwide. With thousands of five-star reviews in the app stores, Keeper is the highest-ranked password management solution in the industry. Intelligent CISO spoke to Keeper Security’s CTO Craig Lurey about how organisations and individuals can ensure their passwords are safely managed. 74 How much of a link is there between poor password practice and data breaches/cyberattacks? There is a high correlation between poor password practices and data breaches. Over 81% of data breaches are caused by weak or stolen passwords. Most people know there are risks with using the same password but still do it – why do you think that is? A password management system removes the need to remember all your passwords at all. Keeper Security’s CTO Craig Lurey We’re inundated with passwords these days. It’s understandable that many of us try to make the online password experience easier by using the same password for all of our secure sites or using easy-to-remember passwords. Both open you up to getting hacked. Can you give us an overview as to what you offer your enterprise customers?
