World Password Day Doesn't Work. That's Not The Point

from The Awareness Practitioners Hosted by Risky Creative

World Password Day doesn't work. Most of us in security awareness know that. But that doesn't mean you should stop using it. In this episode I break down where World Password Day actually came from, why it became one of the most recognised awareness dates in cybersecurity, and why the advice most people share on it is now outdated. I also tell you the story of Grandparents Day and what it teaches us about why visibility beats purity every single time. If you are an awareness practitioner, this one is for you. The day is the door. What you walk through it with is up to you. Subscribe so you don't miss the next one. Also from Risky Creative: The Awareness Angle. Weekly conversations with the people shaping security awareness, human risk, and behaviour change. Guests from across the industry every Monday. Theme music: "X" by falling forever.
