My thanks to 1Password for sponsoring Six Colors this week.
The folks at 1Password recently attended the RSA conference in San Francisco and were struck by how infatuated everyone was with the promise of new, shiny solutions to fix new, shiny problems.
But there are a lot of non-shiny, foundational problems still out there. In the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, accidental breaches caused by human error or victimization in phishing attacks was the number one cause of breaches. The same was true last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. The single biggest culprit in breaches continues to be weak and stolen credentials.
Yet in 1Passwordâs 2022 State of Access Report, only 29% of respondents said they used a password manager at work. This needs to change, and the Verizonâs report offers a clear look at where the industry is falling short and where it goes from here. To get more insights about the report and its implications for security, read the full blog post.
