For critical infrastructure, it&#8217;s therefore particularly important to have it applied in order to help prevent cyber criminals from tampering with cyber-physical systems.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Alongside single-factor authentication as a bad practice is the use of known, fixed or default passwords, which CISA describes as &#8220;dangerous&#8221;.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/these-are-the-terrible-password-that-people-are-still-using-heres-how-to-do-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Default or simple passwords<\/a>&nbsp;are good for cyber criminals because there&#8217;s a much higher chance of them being able to simply guess passwords to compromise accounts. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>CISA also warns against the use of passwords which are known to have been breached previously, as that means they also provide cyber criminals with a simple means of gaining access to networks.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>The third bad practice listed by CISA is the use of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cybersecurity-how-to-get-your-software-patching-strategy-right-and-keep-the-hackers-at-bay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unsupported or end-of-life software<\/a>&nbsp;in critical infrastructure.
