YubiKey for energy and natural resources industries
Stop account takeovers and promote compliance with phishing-resistant authentication
Zero Trust with modern phishing-resistant authentication and hardware-enabled security
Increasing threats from nation-states and cybercriminals aim to compromise security and the economy by launching cyberattacks against energy, oil and gas, utility, and natural resources companies. This includes ransomware, which typically originates from phishing attacks to steal credentials and gain access to systems.
The increased digital connectivity in this sector and the need to integrate information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) have driven calls for stronger authentication than legacy authentication methods such as passwords, SMS, mobile authentication, and one-time passcodes. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a fundamental aspect of protecting this critical infrastructure, but not all forms of MFA are created equal.
Phishing-resistant MFA and cryptographic protection are essential to ensure no user or device can penetrate your network without being verified. Yubico's phishing-resistant and hardware-enabled security solutions and services meet you where you are on your cybersecurity journey while strengthening your cybersecurity infrastructure.
