 It's a daily story: user's credentials get stolen, whether by social engineering or other attack. Bad guy logs in to corporate network or user's email. Bad guy steals data, corrupts data, sends fake emails saying payment details have changed. And in every case it could have been thwarted by MFA. iTWire says organisations of all sizes can't leave hardware keys to end users; it must be driven from the top and must have a company-wide approach.

iTWireTV: Yubico regional VP APJ Geoff Schomburgk.

Grab your iPhone and your Yubico YubiKey or FEITIAN Technologies security key - because with iOS 16.3 your device now supports hardware security keys for the best in identity and authentication protection.

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.
