Buckle Up: You do not want any of your passwords to be on this list!
In 2025, a major factor contributing to data breaches and subsequent leaks is the use of either recycled passwords, default passwords, or simple and memorable passwords. With this in mind, it is imperative to create strong, unique passwords and make use of additional security measures such as multi-factor authentication to protect sensitive data from hackers such as data associated with social media accounts.
Dressing your organisation in a Data Suit to Shield from a Sting of a Breach
A few weeks ago, the Hyplon Security team experienced a beekeeping tour in which we saw similarities between a beekeeper wearing an appropriate suit to safely and efficiently access delicious honey from a hive and a current project we are working on around protecting data appropriately to prevent unauthorised access.
As the team suited up in beekeeping suits to shield us from bee stings while watching the process of beekeeping closeup, afterwards we discussed how akin the beekeeping suit is to protecting an organisation’s data. The beekeeping suits serve as a defense against bee stings, much like appropriate cyber security controls protect an organisation’s valuable data from unauthorised users as data is the lifeblood of an organisation as honey is to a beehive.
