At work we're using MS-hosted #Exchange and #Outlook for email. We're looking at products which can help us with the following:
- Cut down on incoming spam, phish (particularly BEC)
- Do Data Loss Prevention for outbound email
- Good reporting
- Good interface for non-technical users
We're currently considering #Mimecast and #KnowBe4 products, I'm wondering if there's anything I'm sleeping on that people can recommend. :boosts_ok_gay:
(and yes, I know, for my personal email I self-host my own Exim / Dovecot stack, don't @ me)

Via @arstechnica: US #security awareness training firm #KnowBe4 unwittingly hired an apparent “nation-state” #hacker from #NorthKorea: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/07/us-security-firm-unwittingly-hired-apparent-nation-state-hacker-from-north-korea/
KnowBe4’s main claim to fame was partnering with the late #KevinMitnick, a self-aggrandizing former fugitive hacker and cause célèbre of @2600, who narrated many of the company’s videos. I’ve worked at several companies that required yearly viewing of KnowBe4’s #InfoSec material. 🤮

KnowBe4 Password Policy
In 2022, KnowBe4 released its first e-book covering password attacks, defenses and what your corporate password policy should be. Here is a summary of their recommendations:
☑️ Whenever possible, use phishing-resistant Multifactor Authentication (MFA).
☑️ Use MFA and / or long passwords or passphrases to log on to your devices.
☑️ If you can, use a password manager.
☑️ 12-character perfectly random 4-class passwords defeat all known guessing/cracking attacks.
☑️ If you must think up a password yourself, create a unique and long password or passphrase (at least 20 characters) for all sites and services.I’m interested in how we translate this corporate-directed advice into something actionable for ordinary people, outside of organizations with infosec budgets.
Especially interesting is the fact that — as far as we’re aware — no one has cracked a 12-character, random 4-class password. I’ve circled that below in red . . . kinda rough . . . I’m no graphic designer, for sure!
Have you heard of this kind of password being cracked out in the wild?
