“As the cyber threat landscape continues evolving with AI-driven attacks, organizations need to get phishing-resistant passkeys into employees’ hands quickly and without IT friction,” said Albert Biketi, chief product and technology officer, Yubico. “By expanding YubiKey as a Service with our new Self-Service Ordering capability and Customer Portal interface, we’re providing our customers the option to let end users securely self-service order YubiKeys on-demand – eliminating friction of deploying YubiKeys at scale with unmatched flexibility and cost efficiency. This shift reduces the logistical burden on IT departments and ensures that employees, contractors, and partners receive enterprise-grade security in YubiKeys exactly when and where they need them.”
Self-Service Ordering: Accelerating Modern Workforce to Phishing-Resistance in the Age of AI-powered Cyber Threats
The new Self-Service Ordering capability empowers employees and partners to self-service their own YubiKey needs. IT administrators can now send email invitations to individuals or groups, allowing users to choose their preferred form factor and enter their own shipping details through a custom-branded web page. The tool offers several new advantages for customers including:
- Choice and Autonomy: Users can select the YubiKey models that best fit their specific devices, with direct shipping to home or office locations across the U.S., Canada and Europe.
- Reduced Operational Overhead: By shifting address collection and order capture to the end user, organizations can dramatically accelerate adoption while reducing the support burden on internal help desks.
- Customized Experience: Organizations can customize the Self-Service Ordering portal and invite emails to match their brand identity, ensuring users recognize and trust the security request.
Customer Portal: A Centralized Dashboard for Global YubiKey Deployments
Available automatically with YubiKey as a Service, the new Customer Portal – formerly the YubiEnterprise Console – offers a unified, streamlined workspace that enables IT teams to efficiently manage their YubiKey deployment and gain instant visibility into deployment status, inventory and user activation.
Key administrative benefits of the Customer Portal include:
- Unified Inventory Management: A new inventory overview provides a clear view of all purchased licenses and keys, distinguishing between total inventory and what is currently shippable.
- Streamlined Operations: Admins can manage users, assign roles, and track shipment requests through a simplified “Deliver” section, ensuring hands-off rollouts that free up IT resources for strategic initiatives.
- Enhanced Visibility: The portal replaces confusing legacy views with dedicated sections for purchases, delivery, and self-service ordering – providing a holistic view for seamless global YubiKey management.
Available exclusively through YubiKey as a Service, these new features allow organizations to seamlessly achieve phishing-resistance with hardware security keys and fast-track to an elevated security posture and a future-proofed security investment.
