Cyber Security Awareness Month with Technical Drive

Need Another New Password? How Strong is Your Current One? Knight, Duck, Orange?

Our steadfast guardian and his companions are here to remind us of the importance of an invulnerable password!

You can rely on easy and effective ways to create new passwords and safeguard existing ones, with Technical Drive!

Frustrated by New Password Requests?

Did you know that an 8-character password can be cracked in just a few minutes, while a 16-character password can take years to break?

A robust cyber-security system can protect you from harm and multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of defence.

But the first step is creating a password that can’t be easily breached!

Crafting the Perfect Password!

Using our trusty Knight and his plethora of ducks and oranges, as a metaphor for a strong password, remember what it takes to keep them invincible…

  • Three Random Words
  • A Number
  • A Special Character

  • TECHNICALKNIGHTCODE1)
  • CYBERDRIVEORANGE2!
  • SUPPORTDIGITALDUCK3#

Important Password Practises

  • AVOID reusing passwords for multiple accounts.
  • Use a password manager to securely store and manage your passwords.
  • NEVER share your login details in written form, whether on paper or online.
  • Keep your passwords private and avoid sharing them with others.
  • DON’T use obvious or personal information in your passwords.
  • Incorporate numbers and symbols to replace letters.
  • UPDATE your passwords regularly. Longer passwords are stronger.

Duck, Duck, Goose! It Could Be You!

You and your business might feel untouchable, you couldn’t possibly be one of the companies a cyber-attack would target!

You might even think that the information you have isn’t what cyber-criminals are after!

However, it only takes a small chink in your armour or information unknowingly valuable to someone else to bring you down.

It’s crucial to review your information and make necessary changes now, before it’s too late!
