YubiKey for Telecommunications
Modern security to strengthen existing security approaches
Reliable, phishing-proof protection
The telecommunications industry is increasingly becoming a target of cyberattacks due to the critical services it provides. Strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required to secure access to critical systems and data, but not all MFA is created equal.
The YubiKey provides a phishing-proof layer of protection to protect people, technology, and data while ensuring the best security and user experience. Covering a wide range of business scenarios, the YubiKey offers 100 percent MFA coverage and protection against phishing and account takeover-related cyber threats.
Secure access to critical systems and data for your broad user base
Stolen credentials are the leading cause of account takeovers and data breaches, and passwords are often reused across multiple accounts in this industry. Therefore, strengthening the security of all user accounts, user access to critical systems and applications, and protecting employee and customer personal data without interrupting productivity is critical to protecting against modern cyber threats.
YubiKeys ensure that only authorized individuals have access to PII data and critical systems. YubiKeys integrate seamlessly with existing IAM solutions such as Microsoft, Okta, Duo, and Ping, providing secure authentication for hundreds of applications and services without replacing existing solutions. Users are protected within minutes, immediately after installation.
Always-on phishing-proof solution for shared workspaces and environments with limited mobility
Employees of third-party companies, franchisees, or retail stores often share computers, kiosks, and point-of-sale systems. YubiKeys ensure that only authorized individuals have access to a specific system, application, or even function. They can be uniquely identified, are highly portable, extremely durable, and require no battery or internet connection.
Where people can't, won't, or won't use mobile phones, YubiKeys provide always-on, phishing-resistant authentication that ensures 100% MFA coverage. Even technicians supporting remote sites always have some form of secure MFA available.
Deliver exceptional customer experience
Your employees directly reflect your brand when they interact with customers. With the YubiKey, your employees provide more efficient and better customer service because they don't have to look at their phones to authenticate. Their undivided attention is on the customer.
Because the YubiKey is available in a variety of form factors, authentication is easy on all modern devices, regardless of manufacturer or operating system.
Compliance with industry regulations and authentication standards
Due to the increasing impact and sophistication of cyberattacks, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed new rules for the telecommunications industry to address the evolving nature of security breaches and specify when critical organizations and customers must be notified of a breach. Phishing-resistant MFA is essential to protect against modern cyber threats.
The YubiKey meets and exceeds the Zero Trust and Phishing-Resistant MFA recommendations of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memo M-22-09, which provides actionable strategies to strengthen cybersecurity in critical infrastructure in response to Executive Order 14028. Enhance your cybersecurity with the YubiKey.
