Case Study: Mitsubishi Electric strengthens global cybersecurity with YubiKey from Yubico

Mitsubishi Electric secures 150,000 users with Yubico

Mitsubishi Electric, a global leader in electrical and electronic products and a key supplier to critical infrastructure sectors, faced the challenge of securing its global operations against sophisticated cyber attacks following security incidents caused by stolen credentials. Their top priority was to strengthen their authentication infrastructure with phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA), leading them to partner with vendor Yubico and implement the YubiKey hardware security key.

Yubico's YubiKey provided a scalable solution that supported multiple protocols and was ideal for mobile-restricted environments like production facilities. The implementation of thousands of YubiKeys has protected global users from credential-based attacks and established a robust foundation for a future transition to passwordless authentication. Mitsubishi Electric reported a successful, problem-free rollout and praised the solution for its ease of use, even for users with low IT literacy.
