Delaney: 2012 is the year of the password

Computerworld Security: January 10, 2012
===============================================================

For my first blog post of 2012 I was going to focus on New Year's resolutions
that every network administrator should consider. This was to include things
like making sure you have a map of your network to having a log of what users
are doing on your network. However, as I put my list together I realized the
most important one on it was that we all need to review how we use passwords
both personally and at work.
