Yubico,
the
provider
of
hardware
authentication
security
keys,
has
launched
its
enhanced
YubiEnterprise
Subscription
program,
expandedSecurity
Key
Series,
and
updated
pricing
structure.
Jeff
Wallace,
Senior
Vice
President
of
Product,
Yubico,
says, “With
the
onslaught
of
today’s
sophisticated
attacks
specifically
targeting
enterprises,
these
updates
will
help
better
equip
organisations
with
hardware-based
authentication
and
complimentary
services
needed
to
prevent
the
constant
threat
companies
are
facing.
People
that
use
legacy
multi-factor
authentication
(MFA)
solutions
are
at
high
risk
for
being
hacked.”
Wallace
continues,
“The
intrinsic
value
of
modern
MFA
has
risen
given
the
escalating
cyber
threat
landscape
and
recent
government
mandates.
With
the
enhanced
YubiEnterprise
Subscription,
customers
get
the
benefit
of
all
that
Yubico
offers.
“We
continue
to
set
and
raise
the
standard
for
security
strategies
by
making
it
easier
than
ever
for
companies
to
protect
themselves,
their
employees,
and
their
customers
against
malicious
hackers
and
sophisticated
attacks
like
phishing.”

cybersecurity
attacks

authentication
backups. -

your
workforce,

two
new

to
provide
phishing-resistant
MFA
to
organisations.
Additionally,
theSecurity
Key
Series
lineup
will
transition
from

with
the

look
and
feel
of
the
flagship

5
Series.
With
the
same
support
and
feature
set
as

the
enterprise

include
an
etching
on
the
back
of
the
devices
to
differentiate
from
YubiKey
models.
The
introduction
of
black
Security
Keys
helps
streamline
manufacturing
as
we
meet
heightened
customer
demand.

pricing
structure

also
announced

Subscription
pricing
in
comparison
delivers
a
value
increase
at
a
compelling
price
point,
the
company
states.

continuing
to
aim
at
providing
the
highest
quality

at
