Custom dictionaries are essential for strengthening password security. They block the use of common words, industry and organization-specific terms, and easily guessable patterns, adding an extra layer of defense against targeted attacks. Integrating custom dictionaries with tools like Specops Password Policy enhances Active Directory password security and reduces the risk of security breaches.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are as follows:
– Custom dictionaries are specialized lists of words, phrases, and character combinations that end users are prohibited from using when creating their passwords.
– Integrating a custom dictionary into your password policy gives your organization an additional layer of defense against targeted credential-based attacks.
– It is important to include industry-specific terms, organization-specific terms, and common password patterns in the custom dictionary to enhance password security.
– Tools like Specops Password Policy can seamlessly integrate custom dictionaries into your Active Directory environment and also provide breached password protection, enhancing overall password security and reducing the risk of security breaches.
