Keep your business passwords secure

Business password manager like LastPass has two key components:

• Employee’s vaults
  With LastPass Business, each employee is granted an encrypted personal password manager to create, store, and manage passwords and secure notes. Each vault includes all features of LastPass Premium personal plan, like the integrated password generator, cross-device and -browser sync, 256-bit AES encryption, and zero-knowledge security measures. Having individual vaults protects your business and employees from threats, and secures accounts not covered by your company's SSO.
• Admin functionality
  Business admins can’t access employees’ vaults, but they can manage who gets one, create authentication policies and best practices, and generate reports through the admin console. For example: you can create a user group, add to it a mandatory multifactor authentication for vault access, and provide this group with a set of shared credentials to certain apps and documents; the next time you delete or add a user to this group, they will automatically be given the credentials and access requirements they need.

Business admins can monitor password health within the organization, such as identifying weak and reused passwords, track credentials leaked on the dark web, and apps your employees log in to. LastPass alerts admins and users of potential password threats or compromises so immediate action can be taken.

A business password manager like LastPass provides employees with secure, personal vaults while giving admins the tools to manage access, enforce security policies, and monitor password health – all without compromising user privacy. With centralized control, automated provisioning, and real-time threat alerts, LastPass helps businesses strengthen security, streamline password management, and reduce the risk of data breaches.

LastPass, now fully independent with control over its new cloud-native infrastructure, has transformed its software development, operations, and security.

• Enhanced encryption standards to protect data and ensure integrity.
• Upgraded operational controls to better defend against cyber threats.
• Improved user experience by strengthening product and service security.
• Built eight specialized teams of top security and privacy experts.

• Device sync and cross-platform compatibility
  When a user saves a password to their vault on one browser or device, it is automatically synced wherever their vault is accessible: iOS/Android mobile apps, smart watches, desktop apps, and other browser extensions. Also, LastPass is safer than default browser and desktop password managers because it offers stronger encryption, centralized secure storage, and additional security which reduce the risk of vulnerabilities, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.

• Prevent credential theft and phishing attacks
  Cybercriminals often employ phishing attacks to trick users into revealing their credentials. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 68% of data breaches involved a human element – human error, use of stolen credentials, ransomware, or social engineering. Password managers like LastPass won’t allow employees to autofill their credentials on unsecured websites.
• Avoid weak passwords and brute force attacks
  Attackers can exploit weak passwords through brute force attacks, where they systematically try various combinations until the correct one is found. With LastPass, you can set specific requirements for your employees’ passwords and identify leaked credentials with dark web monitoring.
• Avoid insider threats
  Employees who unintentionally or intentionally mishandle credentials pose a significant threat to your business. Password management solutions help mitigate this risk by restricting access and monitoring user activities. The IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report noted that insider threats accounted for nearly half of all data breaches, emphasizing the need for robust access controls.
• Regulatory non-compliance
  Failure to comply with data protection regulations, like GDPR, can lead to severe legal consequences and financial penalties. A password management solution like LastPass, which is GDPR compliant, helps lower this threat.
• Efficient access management
  Improperly managed user access, especially during employee onboarding and offboarding, can lead to unauthorized access and data exposure. The Identity Breach Report by Verizon found that misconfigured access controls were a leading cause of data breaches, highlighting the importance of efficient access management.
