Anti-phishing solutions: hardware keys, multi-factor authentication, passwordless login
Yubico MFA Keys 
Setting U2F standards, creating FIDO2, successful cooperation with organizations storing data of billions of users such as Google, Salesforce or… CIA. These are just some of the achievements in Yubico’s portfolio. As pioneers in the field of cybersecurity, Yubico sets a new direction, where the classic login and password become a child’s puzzle.
As a Yubico partner in Poland, we perfectly understand that it is not enough to keep up with cybersecurity trends. Today, to effectively protect your company’s data, we should be ahead of them. That is why our portfolio of cybersecurity solutions includes YubiKey – a series of Yubico MFA physical keys from Yubico, an essential element of authentication.
YubiKey is a series of security keys developed by the Swedish company Yubico, which provides strong two-factor (2FA) and multi-factor (MFA) authentication based on protocols such as FIDO2, U2F, OTP and PIV. Thanks to this, YubiKey allows you to log in to various online accounts safely, without having to rely solely on passwords.
The solution supports services such as Dropbox, GitHub, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter, which confirms their high compatibility and the security standards they offer to protect against cyberattacks.
YubiKey is a small USB, USB-C, NFC or Lightning device that works by physically interacting with a computer or mobile device. With support for modern authentication protocols, YubiKey is compatible with a wide range of operating systems and applications, making it an ideal solution for anyone looking to secure their online accounts.

YubiKey works by generating a unique, one-time authentication code that is sent to a server to confirm the user’s identity. When the user wants to log in, they simply insert the YubiKey containing the unique code. With support for FIDO2 and U2F protocols, Yubico keys eliminate the risk of phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
It is waterproof, does not require batteries or additional software, which makes it very easy to use. Simply plug the key into a USB or USB-C port, touch it, and the system automatically recognizes the user, providing a fast and secure login.

In 2023 alone, over 96,000 cases of phishing were reported to CERT Polska.
A password can be cracked and an authentication code can be intercepted. However, solutions referring to old, effective methods – physical system keys and biometrics – are appearing on the market. Based on FIDO (Fast Identity Online), a multi-step authentication method that involves verifying information between a device and a physical medium. Thanks to this, they are impossible to remotely intercept.
The answer to the threat of identity theft was supposed to be two-factor authentication (2FA). However, the second (and any subsequent) factor will not protect employees exposed to sophisticated social engineering and the interception of one-time passwords, magic links or SMS codes. This is where the FIDO protocol comes in handy.
Yubikey keys are useful where a high level of protection is necessary, but at the same time it is not possible to provide everyone with the appropriate means, such as a company phone. As a Yubico partner, we provide secure access and protection against phishing.

YubiKey is very easy to use. What is more complicated is finding a way to implement it in an organization at scale and make the most of the existing infrastructure.
That is why at Grandmetric we support you every step of the way – from analyzing your assets, designing the infrastructure for Yubico keys and implementing the solution across the organization. We know how to do it right.
FIDO-based solutions can be particularly important for state institutions, critical sector companies and large organizations that are required to implement a Zero Trust policy in line with NIS2. Physical keys will reduce the risk of phishing attacks or other types of unauthorized access to a minimum.
YubiKey effectively protects users from identity theft and other threats on the network. This applies to personal devices, individual workstations, but above all, it is the missing link in the company's network security system.
In situations where there is a risk of losing a security key, appropriate procedures and technologies can prevent serious consequences for the organization. YubiKey can be useful in such cases, providing an additional layer of protection.
Cooperation with other technologies, such as Secfense User Access Security Broker, can facilitate the implementation of modern multi-factor authentication (MFA) for organizations. Modern MFA must become a security standard for all companies.
We design every element of corporate networks, so we know their weaknesses, the interdependencies between devices and software or individual suppliers.
Years of experience allow our engineers to select cooperation in such a way that they comprehensively cover the demand for cybersecurity services. Thanks to this, we can offer a wide range of products that will best meet customer requirements. As a partner of Yubico, but also of other manufacturers of security solutions, we have a wide range of excellent products to offer, which our team of technical consultants has tested and compared.
Contact us and together we will see which Yubico solution will best suit your business.
Yubico Keys are a great way to protect your identity. I use them personally and recommend them to my business as a Yubico partner as an extra layer of protection for organizations against cyberattacks.
