YubiKey as a Service

Flexibility and choice

With users switching to modern devices such as laptops and smartphones on different platforms, or simply having a preference for a certain YubiKey, you can give your users flexibility to opt for any form factor within the subscription tiers offered within the YubiKey as a Service program that you’ve chosen. This ensures that users can add strong security that works with any of the devices they love. No more needing to guess exactly how many of a certain form factor to purchase upfront! With YubiKey as a Service, you maintain flexibility and also give your users a wide range of choice, increasing their satisfaction, productivity, and adoption of strong security. And you can upgrade to newer YubiKeys as business and user needs evolve.

Future proofed investment

As your organization experiences changes YubiKey as a Service allows you to stay agile cost-effectively. Customers are eligible for up to 25% of YubiKeys for subscribed users per year to cover employee churn or lost/stolen scenarios. For example, when users leave the organization, you can reassign the current subscription to new users and provide YubiKeys to them from the replacement pool. This greatly enhances your ability to pivot to new directions as strategic business decisions dictate, or as the cyberthreat or compliance landscape evolves.

Risk reduction, business growth, and efficiency enabled by YubiKeys

Prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and eliminate account takeovers

Any software downloaded on a computer or phone is vulnerable to malware and hackers. The YubiKey is based on hardware with the authentication secret stored on a separate secure chip built into the YubiKey, with no connection to the internet so it cannot be copied or stolen. Additionally, centralized servers with stored credentials can be breached. With the YubiKey, the data is encrypted with strong public key cryptography where only the public key is stored on the server, eliminating risks.

Reduces IT costs

The YubiKey dramatically reduces the number one IT support cost—password resets—which cost Microsoft over $12M per month. By switching from mobile one time passwords (OTPs) to YubiKeys, Google saw the following results:

• Zero account takeovers
• 4x faster logins
• 92% fewer IT support calls

Easy to use, fast, and reliable

Users don’t need to install anything and can use the YubiKey in minutes. And the YubiKey is reliable because it does not require a battery or network connectivity, so it’s always on and accessible.

Easy to deploy

IT can deploy YubiKeys in days, not months. A single key, through its flexible multi-protocol capabilities, can work out-of-the-box with hundreds of systems, both cloud and on-premises. This eliminates the need for costly integrations or separate devices for each system, and can support passwordless, strong two-factor and multi-factor authentication scenarios.

Trusted authentication leader

Yubico is the principal inventor of the WebAuthn/FIDO2 and U2F authentication standards adopted by the FIDO alliance and is the first company to produce the U2F security
key and a multiprotocol FIDO2 authenticator. YubiKeys are produced in our offices in the USA and Sweden, maintaining security and quality control over the entire manufacturing process.
