Yubico stories

Founded in 2007 and specialising in computer and network security, the Swedish company Yubico is now a leader in global authentication.

A new study has shown there has been a significant shift towards wanting a passwordless future, but adoption is still in its infancy.

In a slight departure from traditional World Password Day lore, Yubico has today announced a multi-factor authentication (MFA) guide.

The cyber threat landscape has always been worrisome, but today these concerns are heightened given an anticipated uptick in cyber-attacks from bad actors.

"Having a ransomware mitigation plan is one step towards minimising risk, with phishing resistant MFA the key to keeping necessary accounts secure."

With the volume of money handled by the finance industry on any given day, it's no wonder that it is a prime target for cybercriminals.

Government employees and contractors are prime targets for cyber-attacks because of the information they have access to.

Geoff Schomburgk will now take the reins and continue to manage A/NZ operations.

YubiKey Bio works across platforms including Windows, MacOS, Chrome OS and Linux. We take a look.

Yubico has updated its hardware security keys with near-field communication (NFC) technologies to support devices with NFC functionality, such as mobile phones.

The Delivery Service is a cloud-based logistics service and allows customers to streamline YubiKey distribution to end-users.

The hardware integrates native biometric enrolment and management features that are supported by desktop-based, FIDO-supported services and applications.

Yubico believes in a passwordless future - but what does that mean, and is it really possible?

Yubico is partnering with Microsoft to offer 25,000 free YubiKey security keys to high profile and high risk organisations across 31 countries.

“With immediate success from the initial roll out in the US and Canada, we are proud to now offer YubiEnterprise Subscription to our APAC channel partners.” 

Yubico has released a new hardware authentication key, designed to provide security through both near-field communication (NFC) and USB-C connections and smart card support.

"With open authentication standards, like WebAuthn and FIDO2, a passwordless future is attainable."

Once cryptocurrency is stolen, there is no refund like there is with a bank or credit card company, and governments offer no protection for users.

Security partners across 16 categories were recognised at the inaugural 20/20 partner awards.

The report found expectation and reality are often misaligned when it comes to the implementation of desirable security solutions. 

Today, the YubiKey 5Ci can be used to secure the 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, Idaptive, LastPass, and Okta iOS mobile applications.

Due to the growing reliance on mobile phones, SIM swapping is increasingly targeted as a way to take over a victim’s online accounts.

Some shocking results include that 57% of respondents who have experienced a phishing attack have not changed their password behaviours.

Consumers tend to believe that setting up two-factor authentication puts them at the height of cybersecurity best practice – but this belief is misled.
