Challenge - Addressing gaps in password security
AVEX’s ICT team, led by Marc Rijnders, identified critical gaps in their previous password management approach. The team relied on tools like Bitwarden and KeePass but found that these solutions lacked advanced security features and didn’t provide sufficient control or visibility.
"Password reuse and unsafe storage methods were risks we could not ignore. While we hadn’t experienced a breach, we knew the potential consequences of inaction," said Rijnders. These concerns are not unique: 73% of employees reuse passwords, and 45% of breaches stem from weak or stolen credentials (Ponemon Institute, 2023; Verizon, 2023)
“The ability to share login credentials securely and create stronger passwords was exactly what we needed.”
