Case Study: Independent Disability Services achieves phishing-resistant, passwordless access with YubiKeys from Yubico

Independent Disability Services reduces phishing risk 99.9% with Yubico

Independent Disability Services (IDS), an Australian provider of disability support services, faced the challenge of securing sensitive client health data against phishing attacks. Their existing multi-factor authentication, which used passwords and a mobile authenticator app, was vulnerable. To address this, they partnered with Yubico to implement the YubiKey hardware security key for phishing-resistant, passwordless access.

Yubico's solution provided IDS with secure, one-touch authentication for Microsoft 365, eliminating passwords and their associated risks. The deployment resulted in a significantly faster login experience for staff and a 99.9% reduction in account takeover risk. Yubico's YubiKeys were praised for their ease of use and portability, ensuring seamless access for both in-office and remote employees.
