to ensure password security is to continuously screen credentials against a dynamic database that is
updated with the latest threat intelligence.

How Enzoic Gives Enterprises Password Peace of Mind

This is where Enzoic comes in. Our proprietary credential screening solution screens all proposed
passwords against our continuously updated database. This extensive database contains billions of
passwords exposed in data breaches and found in cracking dictionaries. In addition to complying with
NIST’s guidelines to screen passwords at their creation, Enzoic takes it a step further by vetting their
integrity on an ongoing basis. Our database automatically updates multiple times per day, ensuring that
every organization’s password security reflects the latest breach intelligence without burdening the IT
department with the details.

Zero Employee Friction

Another benefit of abandoning legacy password security approaches in favor of a modern credential
screening solution is that verifying password integrity happens entirely in the background.
Uncompromised employees gain efficient access to their accounts without adding additional steps or
device requirements, as is the case with multi-factor authentication, one-time passwords, or other
authentication mechanisms that introduce more friction. Should a previously secure password become
compromised, companies can automate their response to force a password reset or use an existing
secondary authentication method to verify the employee’s identity.

Securing the Future of Hybrid Work

With the adoption of hybrid work environments, the need for secure passwords to combat this growing
attack surface becomes increasingly important. A modern password management approach that
continuously screens for credential compromise is the best way that organizations can secure this
complex environment while simultaneously enhancing employee productivity.
