Yubico bolsters authentication security with updated YubiKey 5 series devices
Existing keys can’t be updated to the new 5.7 firmware though.
“Organizations are continuing to face a surge in the variety and complexity of cyber threats at historical rates, often fueled by compromised employee login credentials, frequently resulting from attacks such as phishing,” said Jeff Wallace, senior vice president of product at Yubico. “These updates empower enterprises with the latest authentication advancements and tools to build specific strategies for creating phishing-resistant users and mitigating phishing threats for employees, external identities, and customers.” The new security hardware loaded with the new firmware are launching alongside updates for the Yubico Authenticator 7, which includes a more streamlined user interface, French and Japanese language support, and can be used to manage the upcoming YubiKey 5.7 features.
