How does Tencent Cloud's domestic password solution conduct password audits?

Tencent Cloud's domestic password solution conducts password audits through a combination of automated scanning, policy enforcement, and security analysis to ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices.

How It Works:

1. Automated Password Scanning – The solution scans systems, applications, and databases to identify weak, reused, or expired passwords.
2. Policy Enforcement – It checks passwords against predefined security policies, such as complexity requirements (length, special characters, etc.) and rotation frequency.
3. Risk Assessment – The system evaluates password strength and detects potential vulnerabilities, such as dictionary-based or brute-force attack risks.
4. Compliance Reporting – Generates detailed reports to help organizations meet regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, or China's cybersecurity laws).

Example Use Case:

A financial institution uses Tencent Cloud's password audit solution to ensure employees and systems comply with strict password policies. The tool identifies weak passwords in internal applications and enforces mandatory password changes, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

For enhanced security, Tencent Cloud offers Cloud Security Center (CSC), which integrates password audit capabilities with broader threat detection and compliance management.
