Inadequate Password Complexity Policies

Some online services have lenient password complexity policies, allowing users to create weak passwords easily. This poses a security risk: Reduced Security: Weak password complexity policies make it easier for attackers to guess passwords or use dictionary attacks. False Sense of Security: Users may perceive their accounts as more secure than they actually are when allowed to create weak passwords. To overcome this challenge, organizations should enforce strong password complexity policies that require users to create passwords with a blend of upper and lower case cultivations, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, they can encourage the use of multi-factor validation (MFA) for an added layer of security. Lack of User Education Many users lack awareness of password security best practices, leading to suboptimal password choices: Weak Password Creation: Users may not understand the importance of strong passwords or how to create them.

IT contracts and their contents

This type of contract does not have a specific regulation , so the autonomy of the parties' will prevails. Due to the different benefits that these can include, we must apply the rules that best suit the specific case, adapting them to the legal business that we seek or intend.

Thus, for example, to a contract for the sale of a computer, articles 1.445 et seq. Of the CC will apply, which regulate the sale, but it may also include other accessory obligations such as the installation or maintenance of the equipment.

Which brings us to the next feature:

1.            Hybrid contracts : mix of different typified or regulated contracts.

2.            Terminologically complex : it is sometimes difficult for the end user or consumer to understand what they are acquiring, what are its main and accessory characteristics. We must differentiate here if the intervening subjects are two professionals in the field or a professional and a third party since greater diligence is required from the professional, which includes the following characteristic.

Content of the contracts

Due to their heterogeneity, it is difficult to specify a content common to all of them.

We will try to establish those that we frequently find in this type of legal business:

1.            Purpose of the contract : we must clearly establish what is intended to be achieved by the purchaser of the good or service, establishing what their needs are and what the offeror can offer, matching supply and demand. To achieve this result, the collaboration of both parties will be required, which sometimes entails a long negotiation to achieve the concurrence of wills and, ultimately, the signing of the contract.

2.            Specify whether it is an obligation of results or means . In the obligations of means, the obligor does not undertake to execute a precise and determined fact, but to put due diligence and care to achieve the end without being forced to achieve this end. The important thing is the effort, diligence and care to which it is committed. As an example of these obligations, we could indicate the computer consulting contract. On the contrary, in the obligations of result, the obligated party agrees to achieve a specific result, regardless of the means used, the non-achievement of the objective will lead to the breach of the obligation, so it must be clearly established in the contract which is the objective to meet.

3.            Duration or validityof the contract. Depending on the type of contract, the fulfillment can be carried out in a single time with the delivery of the product or it can be extended in time as it could be in a maintenance contract. Compliance with deadlines is another of the usual obligations in this type of contract. Depending on the type of contract, setting a correctly calculated term may imply the difference between profit or loss for the supplier. For example, in a contract where the implementation of a certain program is requested within the operations of a large company, it must be correctly calculated how long it will take, the use of the necessary technical, material and personal means. If the execution time is not calculated correctly, it could lead to losses for the supplier and the customer.
