I can understand your concern with your network security and better securing your information without losing productivity. You can set up your users to have their passwords be changed at a certain time and I would recommend a short amount of time in-between. And also you can have the passwords be in a certain context or to be made a certain way and make sheer that the security levels are high on them so that a hacker has a harder time to get in to the network. I recommend you use the following format; using capital and lower case letters the first letter of their name, their whole last name and their employee number, ex. “JVentura10415867@Domain*%$.Local” if someone tried to hack the account and all that they knew was the person name and the domain name they could not get in because it is very unlikely that they would know that person employee number and if they do then you have a spy in your company. Can also buy better security items to better your network things like smart card, finger print scanners, retinal scanners, and others. But I only recommend these for really sensitive information and only for certain users in your company. I hope that this has helped you in any way and I wish the best of luck to you.
