Password hygiene

        Is there need of innovation & investment in cybersecurity market ?The news bips about hackers who set target of World Health Organisation in attempt to steal passwords. Amid of lockdown period, as most of the companies & organizations avail the work from home, cyber security is the hot topic to care about. The security breach may harm personal identities & company data storage. Video conferencing app Zoom has been banned  by Google, Space X & NASA as it has emerged some security flaws like leakage of user's email address & photos. It has been extimated that 500,000 zoom passwords sold on the dark web.
            Password hygiene is one of the biggest problems that users are facing today. The remedy for the issue with password hygiene is most of the time use of evolved password manager and multi factor authentication. When it comes to password security, users are first line of defence. Privacy is not for sale, its valuable asset to protect. While creating online account, even system asks us to generate strong password with some terms & conditions and people pick one passwords and use it for multiple accounts for a very simple reason; its easier to remember. According to a study by IBM, human error is the leading cause of 95% cybersecurity breaches. Now a days, all kinds of securities are worrisome issue. We should keep avoiding human fallibility. It has been observed that cybersecurity incidents are most of the time enabled by human error, malicious intent and ignorance.  
          What is the issue with traditional password security? 
 1. Hard to remember 
 2. Complexity with maintenance of unique passwords 
 3.  Ignorance to tightened fencing     

Leaving behind this traditional way of password, there is rise of passwordless authentication like biometrics & Single Sign On. Still the doubt remains same, is biometric authentication is safe? As you cant reset your biometric features. We cant ignore the nerdy side I.e. possibilities of damage to biometric  features. It is proclaimed that in future, combination of measurements like heartbeats & brain waves could be used. It can be subject to debate how network security policy should be strong.
