A Zero Trust security model means that by default, no one is trusted, whether they are inside or outside a corporate network. Therefore, verification is required of anyone attempting to gain access to resources on that organization’s network, including location, trusted devices, and passwords. Today, hardware security keys are an added layer of protection and an MFA method proven to be phishing-resistant.
Cloudflare customers can request a quote on Yubico’s security key series at deeply discounted prices – as low as $10 – through their Cloudflare dashboard. Larger organizations using Cloudflare and purchasing a YubiEnterprise multi-year subscription to YubiKeys receive a 50% discount on the first year of a 3+ year subscription. This collaboration aims to make it easy and seamless for organizations of all sizes to purchase, activate, and authenticate with security keys.
In July, Cloudflare prevented an SMS phishing scam targeting more than 130 businesses because the company used Cloudflare Zero Trust in combination with YubiKeys. Physical security keys strengthen the barrier against attacks and work in conjunction with additional security measures such as DNS filtering, browser isolation, cloud email security and more where an attacker would need to compromise every signal.
“We keep asking ourselves how we can do more to provide the best possible security for our customers and the internet in general. With phishing attacks on the rise, this means helping to democratize additional security measures to complement the Cloudflare Zero Trust experience. We experienced this firsthand and wanted to make implementing hardware security keys a breeze for any organization,” said Dane Knecht, SVP, Emerging Technology and Incubation at Cloudflare. “Working with Yubico is just another way we’re trying to make it as seamless as possible to provide our customers with the best Zero Trust security strategy. Being a Cloudflare Zero Trust customer provides an easy, fast, and affordable way to implement security keys across your organization, and it’s all part of our larger mission to help build a better internet.”
