Case Study: Keytos Security achieves phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication with Yubico's YubiKey

Keytos Security enables secure passwordless environments with the YubiKey

Keytos Security, founded in 2021, helps organizations move away from phishable passwords and legacy MFA to phishing‑resistant, passwordless authentication—particularly across Microsoft Azure AD environments and hybrid workforces. Facing costly password resets, complex onboarding, and regulatory requirements (FedRAMP, EO 14028, CMMC), customers needed a scalable way to deploy strong FIDO2 and smart‑card authentication across employees and devices.

Keytos partnered with Yubico to integrate YubiKey hardware with its EZSmartCard toolset, PKI-as-a-Service, and Azure AD workflows to enable self‑service onboarding, certificate issuance, and combined smart‑card/FIDO2 tokens on a single key. The result: full employee deployments with one YubiKey per identity/device, complete elimination of passwords, faster rollouts (weeks instead of months), FedRAMP‑level compliance, and operational gains such as up to a 75% reduction in IT support tickets and greatly improved user experience.
