This webcast description from Black Hills Information Security argues for raising password minimums to 15 characters, reviewing recommendations from PCI, Microsoft, NIST, Google, and Apple. It explains techniques like brute force, password spraying, and LM/NTLM hash cracking to illustrate modern threats and supports adopting passphrases and stronger password policies. The session provides practical takeaways and policy guidance rather than detailing a specific incident.
