Secure Faculty, Staff, and Students Against Modern Threats

Ransomware is on the rise, and many cyber criminals target staff and faculty portals to steal paychecks. If you are still using legacy authentication such as usernames and passwords, and mobile authenticators, your institution isn’t safe. Usernames and passwords are easily hacked, and mobile authenticators are susceptible to phishing, malware, SIM swaps, and MiTM attacks.

 

 

Meet Cyber Insurance MFA Requirements

The cyber insurance industry considers MFA to be the single most important defense. In fact, cyber insurance may be impossible to obtain without MFA in place, especially with education being a key target for ransomware attacks.

The right choice for MFA is the one that offers best-in-class protection, now and into the future. Anything less only escalates risk for the institution and the insurance provider.

 

 

Secure Shared Workstations

With the YubiKey you can secure access to shared workstations and devices with highest-assurance MFA and passwordless authentication, and deliver a convenient user experience—even for remote access.

A single YubiKey works across multiple devices including desktops, laptops, mobile, tablets, notebooks, and shared workstations, enabling users to utilise the same key as they navigate between devices.

 

 

Integrate Seamlessly into Existing Environments

Safeguard your existing technology environments—integrate phishing-resistant MFA seamlessly into existing technology stacks without requiring a rip and replace.

YubiKeys support OTP, FIDO U2F, and FIDO protocols, and integrate seamlessly with existing identity and access management (IAM) and identity provider (IDP) solutions such as Microsoft, Okta, DUO, Ping.
