Passwords are a fundamental aspect of cybersecurity, and whilst for now, passwords are here to stay, it is unlikely most organisations can go fully password-less.
As highlighted in our previous blog regarding How Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) Can be Breached, MFA simply isn’t enough of a security measure to then forget about the importance of password security and weak, default or breached passwords.
Weak, default or breached passwords are one of the biggest threats to a user and/or business. Account compromises usually start with the threat actor discovering a user’s credentials from dictionary attacks to password spraying. Once the threat actor has obtained a password, they will then move their focus on compromising MFA. Once they overcome these lines of defence, they will then conduct lateral movements across a trusted environment to access valuable assets such as sensitive data, and may proceed to harvest, encrypt, and/or delete that data.
A weak password dramatically increases the chances of the threat actor ultimately breaching accounts. Strong passwords offer no protection if that password has already been compromised. There are several legitimate websites which you can search to see if your password has been compromised and leaked online. However, the simple rule of thumb is to avoid using weak or default passwords for accessing multiple systems and to enforce a strong password policy and ensure regular password changes.
MFA is then the additional layer of security it’s intended to be.
The construction industry is entering a new era, and Bluebeam is once again leading the way. In 2026, Bluebeam Max will launch as a new premium subscription that combines the power of Revu with advanced AI technology. This blog highlights just some of features you will expect to see within Bluebeam Max.
In construction, the gap between the construction site and the office has always been a challenge. But by combining Bluebeam’s powerful PDF markup tools with GoCanvas’s mobile forms, companies can finally achieve seamless documentation that flows effortlessly from site to office.
Collaboration is the backbone of modern construction projects. Whether you’re reviewing drawings, marking up RFIs, or coordinating across multiple stakeholders, having the right platform makes all the difference. This blog reviews Bluebeam Studio (cloud-based) and Bluebeam Studio On-premise. While both enable teams to work together on PDFs in real time, the choice between them depends on your project requirements, IT policies, and security needs.
