As cyber threats grow, organizations are turning to advanced MFA solutions to safeguard user identities. Today, options like face scans, fingerprint recognition, and security keys such as the YubiKey are among the most effective ways to prevent unauthorized access and secure identities. Secfense, the creator of the User Access Security Broker (UASB), has joined forces with Yubico, the leading provider of the YubiKey, to demonstrate that passwordless authentication and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are not only accessible but essential for all organizations aiming to prevent phishing and identity theft.
The Threat Landscape: Why Passwordless MFA is Essential
More than 80% of data breaches are linked to stolen user identities, including those of employees, partners, and customers. Attackers frequently exploit initial access points like email and SMS, which can be highly vulnerable. Analysis from frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report consistently shows that relying solely on passwords is inadequate in today’s threat environment. Implementing passwordless MFA using solutions like passkeys and the FIDO standard is a proactive measure that organizations can no longer ignore.
How Secfense Simplifies Modern MFA Adoption
Secfense User Access Security Broker (UASB) enables organizations to deploy MFA solutions from any provider swiftly and without complex coding. By allowing integration with legacy and modern systems alike, Secfense makes passwordless adoption accessible for even the most intricate IT infrastructures. Secfense’s agentless, no-code approach overcomes compatibility issues that often prevent businesses from implementing effective FIDO2 authentication or hardware keys like the YubiKey.
“Many organizations assume that modern MFA methods, such as FIDO2 and physical security keys, are incompatible with older systems,” explains Tomasz Kowalski, CEO of Secfense. “Our solution eliminates these barriers, enabling seamless integration of secure MFA across any IT environment.”
Bridging Compatibility Gaps with Secfense and Yubico
The partnership between Secfense and Yubico enables organizations to adopt hardware security keys without needing to replace existing systems or applications. For businesses seeking robust MFA protection with passkeys and the FIDO standard, Secfense’s UASB serves as a critical bridge, enabling secure authentication across incompatible systems.
“Yubico’s mission is to protect the internet for everyone,” says Marcin Majchrzak, Regional Sales Manager for DACH & CEE at Yubico. “Partnering with like-minded companies like Secfense allows us to provide strong, resilient cybersecurity defenses for global organizations.”
Strengthening Cybersecurity with Secfense and YubiKeys
By leveraging modern MFA solutions like YubiKeys and the Secfense User Access Security Broker, organizations gain powerful defenses against sophisticated attacks like phishing. For companies subject to compliance frameworks such as DORA and NIS2, the Secfense and Yubico partnership offers a path to passwordless MFA that meets regulatory requirements while enhancing security and control.
