Traditional ways enterprises acquire security give cybercriminals an edge
Phishing attacks and other modern AI-driven cyber threats are on a steep rise, leaving organizations exposed to financial and reputational loss. Security and IT departments are juggling many priorities and need to, in parallel, factor in the mundane but important actions and decisions related to the acquisition of security solutions. These can include preparing project budget requests, including repeated asks for ongoing projects, many of which often involve calculating the ROI for capital expenditures (CAPEX). Add to this funding for unplanned project expenses, such as replacing lost hardware and related expenditures, and organizations are left with security staff with little time to focus on and plan for strategic initiatives. And the time lag in procuring the right level of security at the right time can leave an organization exposed.
Many organizations are aware that the phishing-resistant MFA solution with the highest assurance hardware passkey is the YubiKey, supporting FIDO and Smart Card authentication. But for organizations, it may be challenging to forecast the exact composition of a large YubiKey order, and which form factors to choose, while planning for the perhaps unknown use cases of tomorrow.
Modern enterprises opt for a modern way to adopt phishing-resistant MFA
With the growing threat of AI, where phishing and other sophisticated attacks have become faster and more targeted at massive scale than ever before, organizations need to protect all of their users to reduce breach exposure. It is not enough to buy and protect one use case at a time.
YubiKey as a Service offers smart enterprises a flexible and cost effective way to adopt modern cybersecurity at scale and protect the entire ecosystem including the workforce, suppliers and end customers.
Organizations are constantly evolving, from new hires and employee turnover, to remote and hybrid work environments, and support for new infrastructure needs. And with users working across desktop, mobile, shared workstations, and using the latest devices and modern authentication, smart enterprises and governments benefit from maximum flexibility in choosing YubiKey form factors based on device type and user preferences over time. YubiKey as a Service takes all of this into account and delivers phishing-resistant and passwordless authentication with a laser focus on speeding up your time to market with world class security representing the fastest path to modern security readiness.
World class security that delivers agility and flexibility.
For less than the price of a cup of coffee per user/day.
