GUEST INTERVIEW: With passwords and traditional two-factor authentication no longer as secure as it once was, Yubico's evolving YubiKeys have been the next-gen answer, with the new YubiKey Bio now another step above in delivering an ever more secure environment, Geoff Schomburgk joined us again at iTWireTV to explain this and plenty more.

GitHub continues its ongoing investment in account security and developer experience by adding a 2FA mechanism in GitHub Mobile on iOS and Android. This provides another authentication option alongside the existing security keys, WebAuthn, one-time passcode, and SMS options.

YubiEnterprise Delivery, the enterprise-scale deployment of Yubico's security keys, was first launched in May 2020 and is now available in 49 countries. Businesses and Governments in those regions can distribute YubiKeys directly to their employees, partners, and customers.

As more devices leverage USB-C, and with companies increasingly recognising the virtues of hardware-based passwordless authentication, Yubico is expanding its range to include the new Security Key C NFC.

FEITIAN has been developing security key and smart card devices to achieve the highest standards of hardware-based passwordless authentication and has now become the world’s first vendor of its kind to achieve the FIDO biometric component certification, an essential requirement to qualify for FIDO level 3 and higher certification.

With ever-increasing cyber threats, it's essential we protect our online identities but a password isn’t enough. If you thought SMS-based two-factor authentication was the solution, think again. For the greatest protection, you need FIDO2 security, and FEITIAN Technologies has just the device for you - and are giving iTWire readers a discount too.
