Why you and your business need a password manager

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are attractive targets for cybercriminals and are the most common attack vector for identity-based attacks.

For SMBs, a single breach of an account can mean financial loss, reputational damage, and even regulatory penalties.

Identity-based attacks can be executed using a wide variety of techniques, we are going to focus on credential access. 

In an ideal world every service your business uses would have multi-factor authentication, phishing resistant authentication like Passkeys or other password-less solutions; however, until we reach that situation, we have some challenges around passwords to solve.
 

Password Reuse

Password reuse is one of the biggest risks for SMBs. When employees use the same password for multiple accounts, a single breach can cascade into total compromise. Attackers often leverage credential stuffing attacks, where stolen passwords from one site are used to access others.
Keeper Enterprise solves this by:

• Generating unique, complex passwords for every account automatically.
• Enforcing complexity requirements through admin policies, ensuring passwords meet length and character standards.
• Preventing reuse by monitoring vault entries and flagging duplicates. This means even if one password is exposed, the rest of your systems remain secure.
   

Info Stealers

Info stealers, malware designed to harvest credentials and other sensitive data from browsers and apps are leveraged by cyber criminals. Once they grab your passwords, they can access email, cloud storage, financial systems, and more.

A password manager can help by securely separating the storage of your passwords from your browser preventing info stealers from accessing your most sensitive credentials.
 

Why SMBs are vulnerable:

• Employees often reuse passwords across multiple accounts.
• Credentials stored in browsers are easy targets for malware.
• Limited IT resources make proactive security harder.
