Case Study: Defending Digital Campaigns strengthens campaign security with YubiKeys from Yubico

Defending Digital Campaigns secures tens of thousands of campaigns with Yubico

Defending Digital Campaigns (DDC), a nonpartisan nonprofit, faced the challenge of securing high-risk electoral campaigns against sophisticated cyber threats and phishing attacks. With limited budgets and resources, these campaigns were prime targets for bad actors, making the implementation of strong, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication a top priority. DDC partnered with vendor Yubico to address this critical need.

Through Yubico's Secure It Forward program, DDC was able to rapidly distribute YubiKeys to campaigns free of charge, providing the strongest form of authentication. The solution was efficiently implemented, allowing campaign staff to secure multiple accounts with a single key. As a result, Yubico helped DDC equip tens of thousands of campaign professionals over five years, significantly elevating their security posture and helping to protect the integrity of the democratic process.
