Yubico and IBM
Frictionless, Phishing-resistant Identity at Scale
Deploy phishing-resistant authentication at enterprise scale with IBM’s identity expertise and Yubico’s hardware-backed security.

Why Identity is Your Biggest Risk
Digital transformation has made identity the new security perimeter. Legacy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) like SMS, push, or one-time passwords are vulnerable to sophisticated attacks like Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) and phishing. CISOs and CIOs need to close this “identity risk gap” to secure the enterprise without sacrificing productivity or increasing costs.

The Power of Two: Hardware-Backed Zero Trust
Yubico and IBM have joined forces to eliminate identity risk across the enterprise.
By combining Yubico’s phishing-resistant hardware—pioneering FIDO2 passkeys—with IBM’s global expertise in Zero Trust architecture and governance, this partnership bridges the gap between strong authentication and large-scale implementation.
- IBM: Designs and manages the secure digital framework.
- Yubico: Ensures only verified identities can access it.
Together, we provide a seamless, hardware-backed defense for the modern workforce.
Key Benefits for Your Enterprise

Eliminate Credential-Based Breaches
Over 90% of breaches involve compromised credentials. We eliminate these primary attack vectors by deploying hardware-backed, phishing-resistant passkeys that cryptographically bind authentication to the user and device.

Frictionless, Scalable Deployment
Our combined solution—Yubico’s YubiKey as a Service and IBM’s change management expertise—ensures rapid, secure deployment across multinational organizations, minimizing “Day 1” productivity loss.

Compliance and Future-Proofing
Our partnership ensures a “compliant by design” posture, meeting growing regulatory mandates for phishing-resistant authentication
AI Operating at Machine Speed, Secured by Human Trust
A look at the industry-first Human-in-the-Loop Agentic risk engine from IBM, Auth0, and Yubico, designed to govern high-stakes actions by AI agents, with human oversight, to secure the future of enterprise automation.

A Strategic Transformation of Identity Assurance
The collaboration between Yubico and IBM is a strategic transformation of identity assurance. We enable enterprises to:
- Eliminate the primary vector of breaches and operationalize Zero Trust.
- Reduce operational overhead and boost workforce productivity.
