Password policies are not enforced.

Weak or unenforced password policies are one of the most common vulnerabilities in modern IT systems. Without proper enforcement, organizations risk unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations. If your system does not enforce strong password policies, Informatix Systems offers comprehensive solutions to secure user authentication and protect sensitive data.

Why Password Policy Enforcement Matters

Password policies are the first line of defense against unauthorized access. When users are allowed to set weak or easily guessable passwords, it increases the likelihood of security incidents. Strong password enforcement ensures:

• Consistent password strength across all users

• Reduced risk of brute-force or dictionary attacks

• Better compliance with industry regulations

• Higher confidence in overall system security

Common Issues When Password Policies Are Not Enforced

Failing to implement and enforce password rules can lead to:

• Users setting simple or reused passwords

• Lack of minimum or maximum password length

• Absence of special character, number, or case sensitivity requirements

• No password expiration or history check

• Inability to lock accounts after failed login attempts

These issues weaken your organization’s security posture and increase exposure to internal and external threats.

Best Practices for Enforcing Password Policies

   Use a minimum of 12 characters for stronger protection.

3. Apply Password Expiration Rules
   Rotate passwords regularly to minimize risk from compromised credentials.

4. Disallow Reuse of Old Passwords
   Prevent users from reusing recent passwords.

5. Enable Account Lockouts
