We are putting the solution in the hands of tomorrow's security leaders, introducing the potential impact by enabling Strong MFA and passwordless authentication. After years of Yubico's demonstrated value to the large MNCs I've served, securing IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS at scale, the collaboration with the non-profit that I serve only makes sense.

We currently use Yubico YubiKeys for our higher at risk users that have access to sensitive company information. For us it is an easy secure way for them to be secured and not worry about unauthorized access to sensitive data we need protected. It also assures that we reduce the risk as much as possible for risk of credential theft.

-we are now exploring the ways that YubiKeys can also be used for personal security of items and the different ways to implement the service and hardware to get the most benefit for our company and people.

We use Yubico YubiKeys to secure the administrator credentials for our domains and for DNS administration. Since these credentials are very sensitive, it provides more peace of mind knowing that the risk of being phished or brute forced is virtually eliminated.

Yubico YubiKeys have been deployed for login to all available applications, especially any SSO applications. We mandate some form of phishing-resistant MFA across the organization and Yubikeys have helped us reach our goal of making the environment and login secure for all our critical systems.

Yubico YubiKeys are an essential part of our logins. When hired, every employee in my business unit receives a YubiKey 5c Nano along with their laptop. Since we are a hybrid workforce and many of us work from home, this allows us to log in with phishing-resistant MFA to all of our SaaS applications that are protected by Duo. Since WebAuthn is the standard from the start, this ensures that the highest level of protection is enforced from an authentication perspective. This has solved the issue of wondering whether or not users are logging in securely from disparate locations. It is also easy for users to authenticate with the tap of a finger to access critical applications - even in a Passwordless workflow!

So we use the YubiKey for securing most of our cloud services, like Office 365, Microsoft 365 mainly, but also other things like password managers. And as far as the services will let us, we try to use mainly the Yubikeys for the physical security tokens and trying to use them for passwordless access to avoid the risks of password theft.

When our company started implementing MFA, we needed to use our mobile phones to confirm our second factor. Yes, it worked, but it was a hassle getting your phone out of your pocket, especially if you were seated. Then we purchased some Yubikeys. It was so convenient to set it up and just touch the Yubikey for your second factor. Leveraging the long touch was also very helpful to reduce the accident activations.

No I have one personally, I use it to secure access to my accounts including GitHub and email. it's a good tool and offers peace of mind. That there is no way for someone to access my account without the key. I'd recommend to others in org to get the product

We're using it to streamline user authentication. We're currently using it for application security, but we're looking to enable it for desktop login as well. And that's our biggest use case right now is streamlining our logins to our systems.

The entire engineering org has to actually use the Yubico YubiKeys primarily because it acts as a second-factor authentication and we don't have to use the text message option and this is much more secure. You basically put it in and it generates the code for you. So all access to all company systems is governed by two-factor authentication and Yubico YubiKeys access is the second factor for us.

When we access sensitive servers, there is always a need to have a 2-step verification process. So one step is always what you know, which is like a password. The second step is something that you have, which is the Yubico YubiKeys. So Yubico YubiKeys provides that 2-step authentication process without going through the hassle and it's also convenient because of the laptops that we have. I think it supports both Windows and Mac and I think we have both kinds of users and they both use it and it seems to work well.

I use this product when I remote work the most. So actually being right in this conference here right now, I'm able to use it to log into my systems and check my email, take actions for work if I need to. It enables a lot better remote work capabilities. The way we describe it on the military side is like having common access card and a card reader all in one device.

There are various use cases that we use Yubico YubiKeys for. All of our authentication to the Fido server is through Yubico YubiKeys, and we also use it for the VPN right now. A lot of my teammates are using it for the Linux authentication tool, and we also store digital certificates, so we use it for PKI. So there are a lot of use cases that we use Yubico YubiKeys for.

The primary problem it solves is the non-repudiation. So knowing that the person logging in is the person who has the key and it's our employee. So the use case is things like there's none other MFAs that you rely on cell phones or QR codes that can be shared. A physical key cannot be shared.

Primary use case is logging in that is authentication and we use for multiple products. One is logging into the machine. The other things we use is the based off of the roles and the responsibilities. We have various apps that require additional authentication after opening the laptop, the server, and that's where we use YubiKey and it's integrated with backend, author and off.

It's for personal usage, I've used it for password managers and that kind of stuff. For the corporate, I would say at the moment we have two factor authentication on our phone. If I lose my phone, I lose my two factor authenticator. Then the Yubikey would act like a second form authenticator.

So, mostly the business problem that the product solves is that it creates an ease of use for multifactor authentication. It helps with productivity and that you don't have to use your phone or another device. You can just plug in and click your YubiKey and then you're going ahead with your daily work.
