Yubico launches Enroll

Organizations looking to simplify user enrolment for YubiKeys, get a boost as Yubico launches YubiKey as a Service – Enroll, fast tracking Microsoft and Ping Identity customers to passwordless authentication.


“As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, organizations are increasingly seeking faster ways to eliminate passwords and protect users from phishing-based credential theft,” says Albert Biketi, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Yubico.  “The expansion of YubiKey as a Service – with these new Enrolment service options – makes it easier for IT or business line managers to easily enrol and recover YubiKeys for their users.  It also gives organizations the flexibility to integrate YubiKey deployment directly into their existing workflows – fast-tracking passwordless adoption and strengthening security across the enterprise.”
 
Key capabilities of the new Enrolment services include: secure setup from anywhere allowing YubiKeys to be prepared and assigned without complex IT configuration, with secure backend provisioning handled by Yubico.  End-to-end encrypted enrolment with all information used to configure keys is securely encrypted, protecting against interception or tampering.  Full visibility and auditing with enrolment and activation events automatically tracked to support compliance and operational oversight; and easy reassignment whereby keys can be securely reset and reassigned when employees change roles or leave the organization.

The YubiKey as a Service – Enroll app is in Limited Early Access for Android users, and customer feedback will shape the final offering which will also include an SDK option.  Participate in the Early Access program, here.
