Introduction

Website security is a reoccurring process that is crucial in website management, which entails the measures applied for securing a website against cyberattacks. A password policy refers to outlined rules and regulations that are designed for enhancing computer security by encouraging users into employing and proper use of strong passwords. The complexity of a password policy entails complexity in its enforcement as a result of user remembrance difficulties or being able to select suitable passwords (Murphy, 2015).

My organization ABC.inc employs the corporate password policy. The suitability of the organizational password policy in my organization has been vital since it has become a significant aspect of ABC.inc information systems security. This has enhanced the protection of systems security. The main goals of corporate password policy are the definition of a clear standard for corporate password policy applied in creation, stability, and secure passwords updates in all supported systems both internally and externally. Again, it outlines all services synchronized by third parties with the resolver corporate password policy. Lastly, the definition of essential services that need protection through Two-factor-authentication (2FA) (Grant & Shaw, 2013).

3rd party services that support web SSO configuration needs immediate integration with ADFS resolver infrastructure for the application of the policy to be automatic; hence all 3rd party services established as crucial should have 2FA authentication protection. The information security department should undertake password cracking on a random or periodic basis. Thus, is there is cracking or guessing of a password during these scans, the user will be obligated to change it (Campagna et al., 2011).

Conclusion

The emphasis on the significance of the provision of user education regarding the management of strong passwords is crucial. Passwords have been established as just a piece of the security puzzle. For an organization to ensure the security of the accounts of its users it requires an exhaustive undertaking of a strong password and easy application solution on password management, for instance, Devolutions server, for safeguarding and storage of all passwords hence the significance of an appropriate password policy (Murphy, 2015).
