Insights
The launch of Yubico Enrollment Suite marks a significant advancement in enterprise security infrastructure. This turnkey solution addresses a critical market need for streamlined passwordless authentication implementation, particularly timely given Microsoft's recent Secure Future Initiative mandate for MFA.
The integration with Microsoft Entra ID positions Yubico strategically in the enterprise security ecosystem. Key business implications include:
- Reduced implementation costs and IT overhead through automated enrollment
- Enhanced security posture with day-one phishing resistance
- Streamlined compliance with Microsoft's new MFA requirements
The partnership with Microsoft and recent similar integration with Okta demonstrates Yubico's growing enterprise market presence. This product launch strengthens Yubico's competitive position in the $12.9 billion authentication market, particularly in the enterprise segment where implementation complexity has been a significant barrier to adoption.
Enterprise users further empowered to be phishing-resistant and go passwordless on day one
Microsoft’s recently announced Secure Future Initiative (SFI) aims to deliver strong phishing-resistant authentication solutions based on FIDO2 and CBA standards, leveraging technologies and efforts from FIDO Alliance members including Yubico and Microsoft. As part of the SFI, Microsoft also mandated MFA for all Microsoft Entra ID, Azure and other portal sign-ins. Yubico FIDO Pre-reg will enable Microsoft customers to meet the mandate requirements and provide customers using Microsoft Entra ID access to a turnkey passwordless MFA onboarding experience by receiving YubiKeys that are already enrolled for their Microsoft environment.
“Microsoft and Yubico have collaborated for years to ensure that businesses worldwide can protect their identities from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats like phishing,” said Nitika Gupta, Partner Group Product Manager at Microsoft. “With the integration of Yubico Enrollment Suite and Microsoft Entra ID’s FIDO provisioning, we empower our customers to create phishing-resistant users and fully secure the employee lifecycle—from onboarding to authentication and account recovery. Our customers can now achieve the security and flexibility they need to protect their enterprise resources with phishing-resistant YubiKeys.”
Yubico and Okta recently released the industry’s first solution for delivering pre-registered YubiKeys for Okta users with Yubico FIDO Pre-reg, and now introduces this capability as part of a Limited Early Access availability within the Yubico Enrollment Suite for Microsoft customers using Microsoft Entra ID. Yubico FIDO Pre-reg handles all of the key delivery logistics door-to-door and reduces burden for both IT staff and end users, while the new YubiEnroll client application will now also enable organizations and Yubico partners that use Microsoft Entra ID to easily enroll YubiKeys on behalf of end users at their premises.
Yubico FIDO Pre-reg is available exclusively through YubiKey as a Service. Benefits of Yubico FIDO Pre-reg include:
- Delivering phishing-resistance on day one, employees become phishing-resistant users throughout their employee lifecycle – including onboarding, authentication and account recovery.
- Empowering enterprises to enhance cyber resiliency by effectively enrolling the end user directly in the authentication platform.
- Eliminating critical points where they may otherwise be exposed to an attack, and removes the responsibility of help desks or users to make security decisions.
Designed specifically for IT staff and administrators, YubiEnroll simplifies the process of preparing, creating and registering FIDO credentials directly with your identity provider. Key features and benefits of YubiEnroll include support for:
- Available as an application for Windows, YubiEnroll is capable of enrolling a FIDO credential on behalf of a user, as well as configuring the YubiKey for use.
- A range of powerful features, including factory resetting YubiKeys and Security Key Series keys, setting and managing PINs (with options for forced PIN changes and minimum PIN length), as well as configuring the user verification are offered.
- All YubiKey and Security Key form factors are supported, whether you’re connecting via NFC or USB. Simply plug in or tap and let YubiEnroll guide you through enrollment.
“As the cyberthreat landscape continues evolving and becoming more sophisticated, users and organizations alike need to consistently stay phishing-resistant to create a strong defense against cyber attacks,” said Jeff Wallace, senior vice president of product at Yubico. “However, phishing-resistance starts and ends with the user – and enterprises need to focus on creating phishing-resistant users across the enterprise. Yubico Enrollment Suite integration with Microsoft Entra ID helps businesses achieve this by reducing the burden on IT staff and users through delivering modern authentication that moves seamlessly with the user across devices, services and business scenarios.”
