Case Study: City of Keizer strengthens cybersecurity by eliminating compromised passwords with Enzoic

The City of Keizer Enhances Cybersecurity by Eliminating Compromised Passwords

The City of Keizer, a community in Oregon, faced significant cybersecurity challenges after being targeted by ransomware attacks in 2020. A forensic investigation revealed that compromised user passwords were a major vulnerability, putting sensitive data and essential services at risk. To address this, the city's IT team, led by Bill Hopkins, sought a password hardening solution and turned to vendor Enzoic.

Enzoic provided a solution to enhance the city's Active Directory password policies by blocking common, compromised, or easy-to-guess passwords in real-time. The deployment was seamless and included continuous monitoring to automatically disable accounts with credentials exposed in new data breaches. This eliminated a critical attack vector, significantly improved their security posture, and provided critical protection given the city's resource limitations.
