About this webinar

Passwords remain one of the easiest entry points for attackers—and one of the biggest headaches for IT teams. From weak and reused credentials to compliance hurdles and endless helpdesk resets, poor password hygiene continues to leave organizations exposed to costly breaches, downtime, and reputational damage.

This Halloween, join The Hacker News and Specops Software for a chilling journey into the password graveyard. We’ll revisit real-world breaches that could have been prevented, reveal why traditional password policies fail, and show how quickly attackers exploit exposed credentials.

You’ll also see a live demo of how Specops empowers IT teams to enforce stronger, user-friendly, and compliance-ready password policies—blocking breached credentials in real time, customizing controls to your environment, and easing helpdesk strain.

Walk away with a clear, actionable plan to banish your password nightmares for good—without sacrificing the seamless user experience your workforce depends on.

This webinar will dive into:

  • The password horror reel: Real-world breach examples and their costly impact.
  • The scope of the problem: How compromised credentials drive the majority of breaches.
  • Why traditional password policies fail: Complexity ≠ security, password reuse, and the lack of real-time breach blocking.
  • Live demo: How Specops enforces strong, compliant, user-friendly passwords—blocking breached passwords in real time, using custom dictionaries, meeting NIST and other regulatory standards, and integrating with Active Directory.
  • Leadership takeaway: A three-step IT Director’s action plan to eliminate password risks with fast rollout and immediate security gains.

This session tackles IT leaders’ toughest password challenges: costly breaches, rising compliance demands, and the need to balance strong security with a seamless user experience.

You’ll leave with a clear roadmap to tighten defenses, simplify compliance, cut helpdesk resets, and stop credential attacks—without adding friction for users.
