Yubico has successfully partnered with T-Mobile to deploy over 200,000 FIDO2 YubiKeys across their workforce, including employees, vendors, and retail partners in late 2023. This implementation replaced legacy authentication methods with passwordless, device-bound passkeys to enhance security against cyber threats.
The deployment was completed in less than three months, providing T-Mobile's teams with phishing-resistant authentication that eliminates the need for passwords or one-time passwords (OTPs). This security upgrade comes at a important time, as the Anti-Phishing Working Group reported almost five million unique phishing attacks in 2023, marking it as the worst year on record.
YubiKeys support multiple phishing-resistant authentication protocols including FIDO2/WebAuthn, U2F, and Smart Card (PIV), offering seamless operation across all operating systems and mobile devices. The solution has already shown positive results after one year of implementation at T-Mobile, strengthening their defense against sophisticated cyber campaigns targeting telecommunication networks.
Yubico announced the Yubico Enrollment Suite for Microsoft users, featuring Yubico FIDO Pre-reg and YubiEnroll. The suite integrates with Microsoft's Entra ID to enhance cyber resilience and support Zero Trust models. The solution enables organizations to implement phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Microsoft ecosystems. YubiEnroll, available as a Windows application, simplifies FIDO credential registration and YubiKey configuration. The suite supports all YubiKey form factors and includes features like factory resetting, PIN management, and user verification settings.
Yubico announced that PKO Bank Polski has enabled the use of Yubico's FIDO-based YubiKeys for customer authentication when logging into their e-banking service iPKO. This implementation provides customers with phishing-resistant security for online accounts. The YubiKey, a small portable hardware authenticator, supports USB-A/C, Lightning, and NFC, and can be used as a second factor authentication method.
The YubiKey supports multiple authentication protocols, serving as a multi-factor authentication (MFA) or second factor device across numerous applications and services. It is currently used by millions of people in over 160 countries, including small businesses and large enterprises. A single key can work across all major operating systems, mobile devices, and thousands of different applications and services.
Yubico's 2024 Global State of Authentication survey reveals concerning cybersecurity trends. Despite increasing threats, 58% still use username and password for personal accounts, and 54% for work accounts. The survey, conducted across 10 countries, shows that 72% believe AI has made online scams more sophisticated. Alarmingly, 39% think username and password are the most secure method, while 37% trust mobile SMS authentication, both highly vulnerable to phishing. 40% of employees have never received cybersecurity training from their organizations. The study emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to cybersecurity, including stronger authentication methods and consistent employee training to combat evolving cyber threats in both personal and professional settings.
Yubico and Straxis have launched MilSecure Mobile, a secure web browsing application for U.S. military personnel. This app allows secure access to protected DOD websites on personal mobile devices using the new YubiKey Secure Web feature. The U.S. Air Force will be the first to integrate this feature into its Air Force Connect mobile app.
MilSecure Mobile enables users to securely authenticate into DOD Common Access Card (CAC)-enabled sites while on the go, accessing email, HR information, and medical applications. The app supports multiple authentication protocols and is approved for use with Purebred derived credentials. It offers customizable URL listings, pre-loaded DOD certificates, and supports various connectivity options for both Android and iOS devices.

The survey, conducted by OnePoll among 2,000 registered American voters, reveals that 42% of Democrats and 49% of Republicans believe AI will negatively influence election outcomes. Additionally, 85% of respondents express a lack of confidence in political campaigns' ability to protect personal information, with 42% of campaign donors indicating that a hack could deter future contributions, and 30% suggesting it could influence their voting decisions. Notably, over 78% are worried about AI-generated content impersonating candidates or creating false narratives. Interviews with Michael Kaiser, CEO of DDC, and Mary Mangione, associate global director of Yubico, are available to discuss the findings and the critical role of multi-factor authentication in ensuring online security.
Yubico, the hardware authentication security key provider, announced the release of YubiKey 5.7 firmware, offering enhanced security features and increased passkey storage.
