World Password Day 2026
Cyber risks are smarter than ever in today’s digital world.
Today marks World Password Day, your annual reminder to ‘change your password’. Many people unknowingly undermine their own cybersecurity with poor password habits.
The most common password mistakes to avoid
Using easy guessable passwords
Reusing passwords across multiple accounts
Ignoring two-factor authentication
Writing down passwords or storing them insecurely
Never updating passwords
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
Whilst strong passwords are essential, the reality is that alone, they’re not enough to protect your business.
Secure credentials along with MFA are essential. A single stolen login can be all it takes to disrupt an entire business.
In our article Beyond Strong Passwords, we look at why we utilise DUO’s management solution. It goes beyond basic MFA, making secure access simple for both users and IT teams.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We can’t discuss cyber-security in 2026 without mentioning the rise of AI.
An unfortunate side effect of increasing productivity through the use of AI-based tools is that it also expands the available attack surface for cyber attackers.
Organisations must understand that implementing any new technology needs to be done with thoughtful consideration of how it might expose these various threats.
