Case Study: Duke University protects critical IT systems with YubiKey from Yubico

Duke University secures SSH, RDP, and VPN access with Yubico

Duke University, a top U.S. research institution, needed a reliable two-factor authentication solution to protect its critical IT systems from threats like phishing. The university required a system that was easy to deploy, supported multiple security protocols, and offered a fast login process for users who authenticated dozens of times per day, making mobile one-time passwords impractical.

Yubico provided its YubiKey, which simplified secure authentication with the touch of a button. The solution was easily deployed and fully integrated with Duke’s primary two-factor service and Shibboleth infrastructure. The result was a successful implementation where users appreciated the rapid login capabilities, and Duke's IT security team praised Yubico for its responsive support.
