Ever since I started here at Keytos, the YubiKey has been a critical part of my day-to-day activities, and I’ve gone from a totally clueless n00b, to a passionate advocate. This advocacy is grounded in a technical understanding of how YubiKeys, through their implementation, can offer substantial security, efficiency, and cost savings for organizations of all shapes and sizes. This is especially true today as we navigate the complexities of 2024’s cybersecurity landscape. The adoption of YubiKeys for secure authentication in Entra ID emerges as a pivotal strategy to mitigate phishing risks and enhance organizational security protocols.
The adoption of passwordless technologies, while beneficial, requires a nuanced approach, particularly when integrating with sophisticated platforms like Entra ID. This transition often hits a roadblock when organizations begin to realize the logistical hurdle of distributing YubiKeys worldwide to their employees and contractors. This has left many security engineers across the globe looking for 3rd party passwordless solutions like EZCMS the only truly passwordless CMS to work with all major phishing authentication methods INCLUDING YUBIKEYS!. Keep reading to learn more about our end-to-end solution for the seamless procurement, deployment, and ongoing management of YubiKeys for Entra ID.
Implementing secure Identity can sometimes seem like a very expensive endeavour reserved only for the fortune 500 companies. Don’t get us wrong, it used to be that way, however, in the past few years it has become more accessible for everyone. Firstly Entra ID has all you need to go passwordless no need to get some other fancy Identity provider such as Okta, the only piece missing is the management solution for Yubikeys, this is where EZCMS comes in, the best part is that some of our yearly pricing models even include hardware Keys with the software. This strategic financial and operational clarity empowers organizations to invest in YubiKeys with confidence. Did you know you can actually SAVE money by going passwordless?

While EZCMS gives you a easy to use interface to mange your Key requests and onboarding, we understand that you are in the business of securing your organization, not shipping keys. This is why with EZCMS, you can delegate the logistics of sourcing and shipping YubiKeys to Keytos, thereby allowing your IT team(s) to concentrate on more pressing issues. Through Keytos’ advanced global infrastructure and strategic alliances with local vendors, organizations are guaranteed rapid, cost-effective delivery of YubiKeys, circumventing the conventional barriers associated with international logistics such as elevated shipping costs, import duties, and operational inefficiencies.
The critical phase of YubiKey distribution is the validation of recipient identities. EZCMS incorporates a sophisticated government ID verification mechanism, facilitating a secure, passwordless onboarding experience that adheres to zero-trust principles within Entra ID frameworks. Moreover, EZCMS’ support for YubiKey extra attestation introduces an additional layer of security verification, ensuring the authenticity of each YubiKey and its proper assignment to the intended user. This mechanism is crucial for mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities, showcasing EZCMS’s unwavering commitment to maintaining stringent security standards and safeguarding against sophisticated cyber threats.
