Case Study: Hacktive Security achieves strong, easy-to-deploy authentication and expanded customer services with Yubico's YubiKey

Hacktive Security selects YubiKey for strong authentication

Hacktive Security is a vendor‑independent information security consultancy in Italy that needed a high‑security, easy‑to‑implement authentication solution for its own sensitive infrastructure and for integration into customer environments. After testing options in early 2013, the firm sought a solution that would work across web applications, encryption tools, and remote access services so it could both secure internal data and offer strong authentication as a value‑added service.

Hacktive chose Yubico’s YubiKey for its simple hardware‑based authentication, affordability, open‑source approach, application compatibility, and strong technical support. The company deployed YubiKeys for employees and clients, and now several customers use Yubico solutions for a range of services from authentication to cryptography, meeting Hacktive’s security and integration goals.
