Cybercrime statistics on the problem you solve?According to Dashlane’s analysis of millions of end
users, the average business end user has over 70 passwords, with 13% being compromised and 46%
reused. Across its entire customer base, encompassing both consumers and business users, the average
user has an overwhelming 227 passwords. Given that compromised credentials are the leading cause of
data breaches, maintaining robust password hygiene practices and safeguarding credentials is more
crucial than ever for both employees and average users.

Dashlane secures 2.5B credentials and administers more than 100M logins per month across its user
base.

Technology, Consero. “We’re proud to tell our clients that we’re using Dashlane, and really, we think that
every company handling client credentials should use Dashlane.”

What does Gartner say about you? Why?

While Gartner does not have a Magic Quadrant for password managers, they did recently publish their
first report on workforce password management (WPM). While they did not analyze the effectiveness of
specific vendors, they did detail a number of key benefits to deploying an enterprise password manager,
including increased security, better UX, lower IT costs (they cite that the average password reset costs
a company $70 each time), and enforcement of password security policy compliance.

From the report, Gartner’s recommendations to organizations include:

• Employ a workforce password management solution to help enforce and manage password
security policies at scale, with minimum impact to users’ experience.
•
Select a WPM tool that addresses your specific requirements by mapping vendor capabilities
against the organization’s unique environment and user journeys.
•
Implement a WPM tool to augment the coverage of single sign-on (SSO) deployments and
facilitate access to apps that do not support federated standards.
