Even if an organization has already brought its password policy in line with NIST's recommendations, it is a good idea to periodically revisit those recommendations since they do change over time.
Not surprisingly, NIST no longer recommends scheduled password changes.
Instead, the NIST password guidelines essentially state that organizations should screen passwords against a list of passwords that are known to be compromised.
One of the easiest ways for an organization to bring its password policy in line with the NIST guidelines is to adopt Specops Password Policy.
Specops Password Policy contains a feature that allows an organization to compare its existing password policy to the NIST guidelines, as well as to other regulatory standards such as SANS and PCI. It is worth noting that Specops Password Policy does more than just show organizations what they need to do in order to make their password policy NIST compliant.
You can test out Specops Password Policy for free in your Active Directory anytime.
