After all, a badly intender person, can give to your competitor market information that can harm your business.

When a user’s password does not expire periodically and automatically, forcing the user to change for a new one different from the old one, a security problem will be certainly present, allowing ex-employees and unauthorized people that have discovered someone password, have unauthorized access to confidential information. Situations like that are not rare to find.
