Reducing Password Chaos Through Hands-on Ethical Hacking Training: Improving Password Management View Digital Media
Workshop Presentation David Brown, Dean Jensen
As data is becoming more valuable, breaches are becoming ever more common, exposing user data. A good password will keep your online account and information safe, from Amazon and Disney+ to your bank account. According to Microsoft Research, the average user has 6.5 passwords, each of which is shared across 3.5 sites, with the typical knowledge worker maintaining more than two dozen online accounts, requiring the typing of eight passwords a day on average. Complex, unique passwords can be a nuisance to remember, and it is easier to skip the headache by going with something simple. The worst passwords of 2019 remained unchanged from previous years, such as "123456" and "password." This is counter productive to effective cybersecurity, even though people know through training that they should create secure passwords. In 2017, a database of 1.4 billion credentials was discovered on the Dark Web. The purpose of this workshop is to improve the training around password management by demonstrating how vulnerable simple passwords are to brute force attacks with access to such resources. It also discuss the use of passphrases, password manager software, and two-factor authentication as a means of reducing the chaos surrounding the establishment of strong, secure passwords.
Creating Generative Conversations: A Working Approach View Digital Media
Workshop Presentation Vanessa Jane Smith, Peter Leong, Fabio Salvadori
“Getting to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of our culture, which depends on the quality of our relationships, which depends on the quality of our conversations. Everything happens through conversations!” Conversational Intelligence by Judith Glaser. Conversation is the carrier of culture; it is the medium through which we connect and create for better or worse. We are in constant conversation with ourselves, with others and with the world around us, and the quality of our conversations, the awareness with which we arrive and engage in one, directly affects the quality of each and every outcome. This workshop has two parts. Firstly we will showcase an experience that illustrates our working approach during meetings and conferences that helps people see the unseen, capture the potential, and create more sustainable, innovative solutions. We do this primarily through creating a highly sensitive container combined with visualisation. The second part of the workshop will include a hands-on experience of this working approach using our visual tools which are the product of conversations we have listened to and visualised. In this way, participants will access higher levels of awareness inspiring human-centred, creative and innovative solutions. These generative conversations reveal third-way solutions so much needed in today’s organisational world.
