The challenge: Protecting passwords
Allport Cargo Services (ACS), a division of the Cargo Services Group, is a leading Hong Kong-based third-party logistics provider. Founded eight years ago, ACS has experienced rapid growth. Concerned about the cyber threats plaguing their industry, particularly hacking and phishing attacks, Scott Gray, Vice President of IT, noted that competitors often fell victim due to poor password practices.
Given their client base, which includes Fortune 500 companies, ACS recognized the potential for being targeted by cybercriminals seeking access to valuable information. With access to critical accounts handling clients' cargo, maintaining robust cybersecurity measures is paramount.
The solution: Strong, secure passwords and user-friendly features
When Allport Cargo Services found Securify, they knew they had discovered a password management solution that offered even more benefits than they were originally looking for.
When the Allport Cargo Services team reviewed the solution, numerous features stood out. "We immediately fell in love with the admin dashboard and Password Health score that Dashlane offers—they became non-negotiables. We evaluated offerings from other password management solutions, but ultimately, none could provide us with the capabilities we wanted as Dashlane could," Scott shares.
Password Health score is calculated based on all passwords stored in Securify and whether they're compromised, reused, or weak.
Dark Web Monitoring alerts users when their old and reused passwords have been compromised and provides recommended next steps to secure those passwords.
Password Generator creates strong, random passwords automatically and autosaves the password upon creation for safekeeping.
Securify's mobile app syncs users' data and credentials across all devices.
The result: Exceptional cybersecurity hygiene
Today, Allport Cargo Services has scalable password management protocols and goes above and beyond industry regulations to ensure robust cybersecurity hygiene. But that wouldn’t be possible without strong employee adoption.
At Allport Cargo Services, the weak link was simple passwords that were reused for multiple accounts. "Some employees had to overcome decades of poor password management habits," Scott says. "But employees wanted to change and understood how important Dashlane is when we showed them that if their weak credentials are compromised, the entire company and our clients could be compromised.
