Podcast: LastPass simplifies security while expanding and increasing personal and business security measures

The days of forgetting your password and worrying about your data are all over. LastPass is a savior to over 25 million people. Randy Fahrbach, Director, North American Channel, LogMeIn explains LastPass to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication. The product addresses 80% of the business data breaches accounting for $3.9 million dollars per breach. With work-from-home a now well-established part of current and future business, attempts to breach security is up by 148%.  Businesses cannot ignore this issue and must take corrective action to avoid the “not if” but “when” the intrusion will occur. Randy Fahrbach Leading in security - As a password manager, their first priority is safeguarding your data. They’ve built LastPass so that they never have the key to your account. Strong encryption algorithms - They’ve implemented AES-256 bit encryption with PBKDF2 SHA-256 and salted hashes to ensure complete security in the cloud. You’ll create a password manager account with an email address and a strong master password to locally-generate a unique encryption key. Local-only encryption - Your data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level. Data stored in your vault is kept secret, even from LastPass. Your master password, and the keys used to encrypt and decrypt data, are never sent to LastPass’ servers, and are never accessible by LastPass. Multifactor authentication adds extra security to your LastPass account by requiring a second login step before authorizing access to your vault.
