Case Study: Adapta achieves phishing‑resistant, faster Google Cloud access for healthcare workers with Yubico YubiKeys

Adapta secures healthcare worker access to Google Cloud with YubiKeys

Adapta is a Netherlands-based IT services and development firm focused on improving the working lives of healthcare professionals by implementing secure, user-friendly enterprise architectures. Facing the challenge that common MFA methods (authenticator apps, SMS) are impractical for carers who use shared tablets or don’t want work apps on personal phones, Adapta needed a phishing‑resistant solution that preserved privacy, sped up logins, and worked across hospitals and home visits.

They deployed Yubico Security Keys (FIDO U2F/FIDO2) alongside Google Cloud, giving staff a single physical key for strong, phishing‑resistant authentication. The rollout secured thousands of users across multiple care organizations, cut typical login times from ~30–40 seconds to about 8–10 seconds, reduced password-related risk and IT overhead, and improved staff experience—paving the way to a faster, more secure, passwordless future.
