Discussion And Respond To Student
Week 8 Discussion
Many organizations use password-based authentication to authenticate their users. Passwords that do not meet criteria can be placed in a vulnerable state. Hackers can use password crackers to guess the passwords and infiltrate systems.
Go to Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to locate and integrate at least two quality, academic resources (in addition to your textbook) on risks associated with password-based authentication. You may also use government websites, such as Cybersecurity from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Please respond to the following in a post of at least 200 words:
- Describe the methods organizations use to address the risks associated with password-based authentication.
- Recommend two methods you believe are the most effective in addressing these risks.
- Be sure to justify your recommendations.
- Provide full citations and references, formatted according to Strayer Writing Standards.
