OVERVIEW

“Password1!” is a terrible password, right? Surely no one would be foolish enough to use that in your organization, right? RIGHT???

Not *only* is someone almost certainly using “Password1!,” when they next change their password, you _know_ it’s going to be “Password2!” unless it’s “Winter2019.”

In this session, get an (very!) brief overview of gauging password strength, then take a deep–ish dive into exactly how to audit the strength of the live passwords in your Windows environment.

Things you’ll get from this session:

  • A set of custom scripts and recommended tools you can use;
  • Playbooks for different kinds of password validation strategies;
