Description

In this episode of Quality Hub – Chatting with ISO Experts, host Xavier Francis sits down with Brian Reich, Director of Technology, and Anne Siebert, Product Manager at CORE Business Solutions, to unpack the evolving world of password security. They explore how best practices have shifted from complicated character rules to the modern standard of longer passphrases, discuss the risks of password reuse, and share practical advice such as avoiding sticky notes, responding to breach alerts, and recognizing phishing attempts. The team also explains the role of NIST guidelines in shaping security standards, why “longer is stronger,” and how human psychology plays into password habits. The episode closes with a look ahead to Part 2, where they’ll dive into multi-factor authentication, password managers, and additional ways to protect what matters most.
