Password changes, multi-factor authentication, and countless changes in policy and procedure can make daily workflows more and more complicated. Cybersecurity can truly be a pain—a necessary pain, granted—but a pain nevertheless, and one that can gradually lead to burnout if you aren’t careful.

Enacted in 2003, this rule was recently revamped in 2021 to stay relevant with the latest technology used by businesses.
