Yubico — Hardware Authentication for the Passwordless Era
Passwords and SMS codes can’t keep up with modern phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Yubico, the global leader in hardware authentication, delivers YubiKey — phishing-resistant security keys
built on FIDO2/WebAuthn, U2F, and Smart Card (PIV). They enable passwordless sign-in (passkeys),
fast MFA with a tap, and alignment with stringent requirements from NIST 800-63B to FIPS.
Ideal for organizations adopting Zero Trust, aiming to cut account-takeover incidents and IT support costs.
Why YubiKey Hardware Security Keys?
YubiKey provides a cryptographic proof of possession stored in a tamper-resistant secure element.
Unlike mobile apps and SMS, it can’t be cloned or phished via look-alike sites.
As a roaming authenticator (USB-A/USB-C/Lightning/NFC), a single key protects multiple devices and accounts —
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Okta, JumpCloud, VPN, SSH, and domain logons.
Organizations achieve higher assurance (AAL2/AAL3), fewer password resets, and faster sign-ins.
Key Solutions
1. YubiKey — Hardware Security Key
A physical token with USB-A/USB-C and NFC (selected models also Lightning). Supports FIDO2/WebAuthn, U2F,
Smart Card (PIV), OpenPGP, and OATH-OTP. One touch = full cryptographic verification without passwords or SMS.
💡 Value: Phishing and MITM resistance, ultra-fast logins, reduced help-desk costs.
2. Phishing-Resistant MFA & Passwordless (Passkeys)
FIDO2/WebAuthn binds credentials to the origin, preventing use on fake domains.
The key can store passkeys for passwordless sign-in or act as a second factor.
💡 Value: Eliminates social-engineering risk, supports Zero Trust and cyber-insurance requirements.
3. Smart Card & PIV for Enterprise Login
PIV/Smart Card mode for Windows/macOS/Linux login, VPN (IPsec/SSL), workstation access, S/MIME email, and code signing.
FIPS variants meet rigorous public-sector and regulated-industry standards.
💡 Value: High compliance (NIST 800-63B, FIPS 140-2/3) and uniform security for users and servers.
4. IAM/SSO & Cloud Integrations
Native integrations with JumpCloud, Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, Ping, plus MDM/EMM.
Enforce organization-wide FIDO2/passwordless policies with minimal app changes.
💡 Value: Rapid deployment and consistent access control across all systems.
5. YubiEnterprise (Procurement, Fulfillment, Lifecycle)
Subscription and logistics programs streamline global distribution, spare keys, model swaps, and lifecycle management.
💡 Value: Scalability and predictable costs for thousands of users and devices.
6. Compliance & Auditability
Support for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, GDPR, and industry/government policies.
Event trails (via IAM/SSO/IdP) simplify audits and investigations.
💡 Value: Faster audits, lower risk, and greater trust from customers and partners.
