Enabling strong security while driving business acceleration
Organizations are looking for better and more efficient ways to harden defenses against AI-powered cyber attacks, while making it easier for users to adopt best practices and enhance productivity. A single corporate security breach in 2025 cost an average of $4.44 million. With compromised credentials via phishing being the most common initial attack vector, phishing-resistant approaches such as those with modern hardware security keys, also known as hardware passkeys, offer the highest level of protection. Yubico, building on its years of security innovation with groundbreaking multi-factor authentication (MFA) technology in the form of hardware passkeys—YubiKeys—has made it easier than ever before for security conscious organizations to adopt modern MFA at scale against the backdrop of increasing AI-powered cyberthreats.

Prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and eliminate account takeovers
Any software downloaded on a computer or phone is vulnerable to malware and hackers. Additionally, centralized servers with stored credentials can be breached. The YubiKey, containing the highest assurance device-bound passkeys, 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. With the YubiKey, the data is encrypted with strong public key cryptography where only the public key is stored on the server, eliminating risks.
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-ofthe-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.
