Yubico Expands YubiEnterprise Subscription Services, Simplifying YubiKey Procurement for Enterprises Around the World

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – September 23, 2020 – Yubico, the leading provider of hardware authentication security keys, today announced expanded global availability of YubiEnterprise Subscription, the company’s service-based offering that has transformed the way that enterprises purchase, upgrade, and support YubiKey security keys at scale. Now, Yubico channel partners across the world — including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Nordics, BeNeLux, Australia, and more — can efficiently sell strong YubiKey authentication at scale.

In today’s new norm of remote work, and with increases in COVID-related phishing attacks and credential theft, organizations realize the necessity of YubiKey hardware-based authentication. YubiEnterprise Subscription enables organizations to leverage flexible and cost-effective ways to procure strong authentication and achieve the highest level of phishing defense at scale.

"Looking at any breach report, the number of breaches due to stolen or misused user credentials is a fact. It should be top of mind for any CISO or CTO, especially since the number of security breaches in the Nordics is on the rise," said Johan Norén, Nordic Business Development Manager, Infinigate. "With Yubico, we get a quick and secure future-proof solution for a fraction of the cost of a breach."

“YubiEnterprise Subscription provides considerable cost and time savings, helping organizations to simplify their approach to strong authentication as their business evolves,” said Fredrik Krantz, Senior Vice President, EMEA and APAC, Yubico. “With immediate success from the initial roll out in the US and Canada, we are proud to now offer YubiEnterprise Subscription to our EMEA and APAC channel partners.”

Historically, YubiKeys have been sold on a per-device basis. Now, with YubiEnterprise Subscription, customers are able to purchase YubiKeys on a per-user basis, and experience predictable OpEx spending. Additional benefits include the replacement of lost or stolen YubiKeys, and upgrades to new YubiKey models, such as the recently launched YubiKey 5C NFC. YubiEnterprise Subscription is available in three different tiers with a minimum initial purchase for 750 users.

"Infinigate is thrilled to be able to help our partners and customers to maximize their security with Yubico´s new subscription model," continued Norén. "Traditionally, investment is made upfront for a predefined set of YubiKeys. Now, customers will be able to spread the budget over a period of time, which is in line with what most companies require. This will make it easier to budget — maximum security for minimal investment."
