Stop POS Compromises and Empower Your Front-Line Staff

In the fast-paced world of retail and hospitality, every second spent dealing with a login is a second taken away from a guest. True productivity happens when security makes a staff member’s life easier, allowing them to prioritize the guest standing in front of them.

But shared workstations and point of sale (POS) kiosks remain prime targets for cyber attacks. With 75% of POS compromises tied to social engineering and phishing, “good enough” security is no longer an option.

The challenge is that cumbersome multi-factor authentication (MFA) often leads to risky “workarounds” like hiding passwords under keyboards or bypassing security.

The Key to Trust and Efficiency

The YubiKey is a modern, multi-protocol hardware security key designed to streamline operations while providing phishing-resistant protection. It allows your team to authenticate as easily as using an ATM—no mobile phones, no batteries, and no passwords required.

In this ebook, you will discover how to:

  • Ensure business continuity: Maintain high-level security even during internet outages; YubiKeys work offline without the need for a network or batteries.
  • Boost employee productivity: Reduce login times and IT help desk requests, allowing staff to focus on guest fulfillment.
  • Eliminate social engineering risks: Deploy the gold standard of hardware-backed authentication to stop account takeovers in their tracks.
  • Bridge legacy and modern Systems: Support your existing infrastructure—including Google, Microsoft, Okta, and Citrix—without adding technical burdens.
  • Improve traceability: Use unique serial numbers as a “fingerprint” for audit trails, even when using generic or shared accounts.
