Case Study: Abtis secures remote work and protects its IT supply chain with Yubico YubiKeys

Abtis secures remote work in 2 months with Yubico

Abtis, an IT services provider based in Germany, faced the challenge of securing its own operations and its customers' IT supply chains with strong, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication. As they moved to support modern, remote work, they needed to move beyond less secure methods like SMS and phone calls. They turned to Yubico and implemented YubiKey 5 NFC security keys.

The solution involved deploying YubiKeys to all employees for use with FIDO2 passwordless login and Microsoft Entra ID. Yubico's hardware keys provided a simple, reliable, and cost-effective form of phishing-resistant MFA. The deployment was completed in just two months. Abtis reports that the YubiKeys have significantly reduced the risk of cyber attacks and credential theft, provided substantial cost savings compared to work phones, and have been successfully adopted by their customers as well.
