A Key For Your Digital Life

Mar 12, 2022

You have a key to secure your home with a rise in cybercrime, you should also have a key to secure your digital life as well.

 

Meet YubiKey.

At the price point of around $50. This hardware device allows you to implement M.F.A.  Or multi-factor authentication while reducing the friction that added security can bring. If you’re already using in M.F.A.  Using a YubiKey will make your life easier. Simply plug your key into a USB port and get your passcode right off your computer, instead of having to pull out your phone each time. M.F.A. helps to lock down your accounts this way, even if an attacker gets ahold of your password, they will not be able to access your account without your key. This is great for all types of accounts, but it’s especially important for your company’s email accounts since they are always targeted in phishing attacks.

The consequences of an inbox becoming breached can be substantial. On the low side, an employee may forward a phishing attack to all of your contacts or on the high-end, an attacker could trick the work customers into sending payment to a different bank account. Or even worse trick a lending provider into issuing a business loan with the payment, going to the threat actor’s bank accounts instead. If employees work from home, integrating this with remote access can help to mitigate some of the risk associated with your employees working from an unsecured network.
