Dear Readers,
Before the invention of hardware security keys, users had very few options for authentication, and none of them were genuinely phishing-resistant. An SMS code that frequently required memorization and the need for a connected, charged, and functional phone, a push app that required you to always have your phone with you and to have internet connectivity, a time-based device that required batteries (which posed a risk of dying), and a device that required batteries were all shown to be vulnerable to cybercriminals.
The importance of cybersecurity in today’s networked digital world is greater than ever. As data breaches and cyber threats rise, businesses of all sizes are looking for solutions to protect their data and secure their systems. In recent years, using hardware security keys, such the AmbiSecure USBKey, has become a common substitute. In this post, we’ll examine the benefits of the AmbiSecure USBKey and how it streamlines the implementation of trustworthy cybersecurity.
The main purpose of the AmbiSecure USBKey is to provide trustworthy two-factor authentication (2FA) for a range of apps and services. Hence, even if a hacker manages to get their hands on your username and password, they still need a genuine USBKey to access your account. This extra security step significantly reduces the likelihood of unauthorised access, making it an essential tool for safeguarding sensitive data.
Also, there is no better way to use the AmbiSecure USBKey. The USBKey does not need the user to do any further actions or engage with it in any way, in contrast to current 2FA techniques like one-time codes or push notifications. All you have to do to get started is plug the USBKey into your computer or mobile device. It must be user-friendly in order to boost user acceptance and lower the possibility of human mistake, such as forgetting to input a code or skipping a step while logging in.
The versatility of the AmbiSecure USBKey is a key additional benefit. The USBKey may be used with many different apps and services since it supports several authentication protocols, including FIDO2 and U2F. Due to its versatility, organisations no longer need to spend money on several 2FA solutions, simplifying the deployment and management of cybersecurity solutions.
The AmbiSecure USBKey is also extremely resistant to phishing and other online scams. As the USBKey employs public-key cryptography, even if a hacker is able to intercept it while it’s being transported, they won’t be able to access your accounts. The AmbiSecure USBKey is the best option for companies of all sizes wishing to bolster their cybersecurity defences because of its resistance to assaults.
Whatever the device, using the AmbiSecure USBKey is simple:
Are trustworthy and simple to set up.
Lack the need for batteries, WiFi, or a network connection; all that is required is secure, modern MFA that is phishing-resistant.
Just touch the AmbiSecure USBKey to prove your identity and you’re in. No more memorising and inputting codes or fumbling with your phone to start apps.
Are true— you do not need to use the YubiKey each time you log in. After being confirmed, a service or app can still be validated. It’s that easy.
Use NFC for mobile authentication.
A strong and durable alternative that may be left attached to your laptop or USB hub (they even withstand the washing machine!)
A simple procedure for reliable verification during the installation of new devices
