YUBICO'S KEY PRODUCT INNOVATIONS EMPOWERING ENTERPRISE SECURITY AT SCALE

KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 (Bernama) -- Yubico, the hardware authentication security keys provider, has announced the upcoming release of YubiKey 5.7 firmware for the YubiKey 5 Series, Security Key Series and Security Key Series - Enterprise Edition.

With a focus on enterprise needs, these updates reinforce Yubico’s commitment to providing secure, simple, and scalable authentication solutions, according to a statement.

“We are excited to continue offering best-in-class solutions that protect organisations and accelerate their transition to passwordless with the latest enterprise-focused updates to the YubiKey.

“We are confident that organisations are now better equipped than ever to enforce compliance requirements and elevate their security posture throughout their organisation,” said Yubico senior vice president of product, Jeff Wallace.

Security keys with firmware 5.7 will be available to purchase in late May 2024, offering enhanced features such as improved PIN complexity, enterprise attestation, and expanded passkey credentials storage.

These updates empower organisations to adopt passwordless-first, modern authentication, fostering phishing-resistant users worldwide.

As part of Yubico’s goal of helping enterprises raise the bar for security with greater flexibility, the company also announced the availability of Yubico Authenticator 7 which will support the upcoming YubiKey 5.7 features.

The Yubico Authenticator 7 delivers strong security by enabling users to store credentials on a YubiKey instead of a mobile phone, thereby significantly removing risks posed by remote attackers targeting software-based authenticator apps.
