People are the weakest link in information security

Posted Wednesday, 4 August 2004, 12:07 HST @838

Tech: Jon Udell in InfoWorld discusses network security’s weak link: people. Students share their passwords, and friends join alibi clubs. Users refuse to change passwords, or keep recycling the same set. A physical token like a USB key can supplement passwords, but it can’t completely replace a password. User attitudes and perceptions can break an organization’s security policy quickly.
