YubiKey for Financial Services
Protecting financial institutions from cybersecurity threats
Prevent cybercrime and fraud with phishing-resistant MFA
Yubico helps financial services providers minimize cyber risks by providing phishing-resistant MFA and passwordless authentication for critical business and customer data. By delivering differentiated security and the best user experience, financial services providers can drive strong security, employee satisfaction, and new customer growth.
Improving security for all PII data and systems
Most banking infrastructures consist of a mix of on-premises legacy services and private or public cloud services. Regardless of where your applications and data reside, you need to ensure they are protected from unauthorized access.
YubiKeys provide highly secure MFA for employees, contractors, and privileged users, ensuring only authorized users have access to PII data and critical systems like payroll and commerce. YubiKeys integrate seamlessly with existing IAM solutions like Microsoft, Okta, Duo, and Ping, providing secure authentication for hundreds of applications and services.
Authentication solutions for the financial industry that meet compliance regulations
You must ensure compliance with various industry regulations such as FFIEC, NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation, and NAIC mandates that require MFA for protected access to sensitive data.
The YubiKey enables strong MFA of users before they gain access to sensitive and personal data, ensuring that financial service providers comply with existing and new regulations such as SOX, PSD2, PCI, FIPS and GDPR.
Increase your customer base with a differentiated security offering
Some financial service providers have implemented less secure second-factor authentication methods for web and mobile banking, while some still rely solely on password authentication. Security questions, SMS codes, and push notifications are not immune to account takeovers and do not provide the best security for your customers.
Show your customers that you value security and privacy by offering modern and secure authentication like FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys. Drive new customer acquisition and high retention by offering strong MFA with the YubiKey to protect customer accounts from phishing and account takeovers.
Promote employee and customer acceptance through best user experience and convenience
Waiting for push notifications or typing in one-time passwords via SMS or email is not the best user experience or security, especially when the cellular signal is weak or unavailable.
Offer your employees and customers a first-class user experience with the YubiKey. A single security key works conveniently across laptops, desktops, shared workstations/access terminals, mobile phones, and tablets, providing a user experience four times faster than SMS. To authenticate, users simply tap their security key, without the need for a cellular connection.
Stay up to date with the latest financial services security standards
To enable strong customer authentication with the YubiKey, you don't need to rebuild and replace your existing architectures. You can quickly integrate strong authentication into your products and services.
With WebAuthn, developers can quickly integrate strong authentication and support for YubiKeys into their web and mobile application products and services. The Yubico Developer Program offers developers extensive FIDO U2F and FIDO2/WebAuthn resources.
