Fears raised over employee password sell-off

Keith Graham, CTO at SecureAuth, comments: "It's very worrying just how many people are sharing their passwords with their colleagues.

“The new research from SailPoint further goes to prove that it's simply not the case that a password alone is a strong enough method of authentication to protect an organisation's systems. The findings have also shown, yet again, that people want a security system in their workplace that is easy to use.

"Many companies don't realise that by integrating risk-based analysis methods, such as device fingerprinting and analysis of the user's behaviour, they can provide a more in-depth verification of an individual, without relying on a simple password or affecting the end user's experience."
