The key to truly secure MFA

Take the next step

Get a YubiKey

Spending on cybersecurity keeps going up. But breaches associated with account takeovers and phishing show no signs of going down. Why? Because 2FA/MFA remains vulnerable. Security you can trust requires a physical factor that is never fooled. Whatever your security implementation, the power, simplicity, and ubiquity of Yubikey makes your entire environment better, stronger, and faster. Hardware and software unite to create an essential “both/and” instead of a short-sighted “either/or”. Implement Yubikey now because breaches come to those who wait.

The reality

Good enough protection simply isn’t good enough anymore
With billions of stolen passwords and credentials on the Dark Web, most people acknowledge that passwords offer little if any protection. Similarly, the vulnerability of software and SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) has been well documented. Good enough protection simply isn’t good enough anymore.

Account takeovers, especially via phishing, continue to increase
Fraudsters and hackers are getting smarter and more sophisticated. Account take-overs and breaches were up a whopping 424% last year despite companies spending hundreds of billions of dollars on cybersecurity to prevent compromises.

The account takeover is only the beginning
Once successfully compromised, attackers use stolen credentials and malware to establish a foothold within user accounts. From there, they elevate privileges to steal increasingly valuable intellectual property, as well as sensitive corporate and consumer data. The costs of these takeovers in terms of financial, legal, and corporate reputation are astronomical and can sometimes be fatal to a company.

The answer

Yubikey hardware-based security keys make all forms of cybersecurity better.

Make existing security solutions stronger
Using strong public key cryptography, Yubikey strengthens security for 2FA and MFA, and makes passwordless a reality by requiring a physical key as the controlling factor.

Stop account takeovers and phishing
Even if a user is tricked into giving up their personal info, the YubiKey isn’t fooled. User credentials are bound to the origin, meaning that only the real site can authenticate with a key. Many organizations have successfully eliminated account takeovers thanks to Yubico.

Enjoy strong security and better user experience
With YubiKey, you are no longer forced to choose between strong security and usability. YubiKey does not require connectivity to work and is always available and ready for authentication. Strong hardware-based security is combined with an intuitive user experience that’s 4 times faster than SMS.

“We believe that by using this token we’ve raised the standard of security for our employees beyond what was commercially available.”
—Mayank Upadhyay, Director of Security Engineering, Google Inc.

Case in point: Internet giant stops attacks on employee accounts

Situation
Google, the world’s largest Internet company is under constant attack from nation-states, hacktivists,
fraudsters, and all manner of bad actors seeking to do harm. The company believed their one-time password LCD
devices and mobile apps were increasingly vulnerable to phishing and “man in the middle (MitM)” attacks.

Solution
The company turned to Yubico and implemented a policy whereby 2 Yubikeys became “standard issue” for each
and every employee, as well as available for end-users.

Result
Since implementation, the company has experienced:
Zero account takeovers
92% reduction in support costs
4X faster logins
Zero failure rates
