Case Study: Phoenix Software strengthens public sector security with YubiKeys from Yubico

Phoenix Software secures multi-user access in 30 seconds with Yubico

Phoenix Software, a UK-based technology solutions provider for the public sector, faced the challenge of securing highly sensitive customer systems and its own supply chain infrastructure against advanced threats and phishing. Their reliance on complex, frequently rotated passwords and legacy mobile MFA was vulnerable to human error and impractical. Seeking a high-assurance, passwordless solution, they turned to Yubico and its YubiKey hardware security keys.

Implementing YubiKey 5Ci devices with FIDO2 and smart card functionality, Yubico provided Phoenix a unified, phishing-resistant authentication platform. The solution simplified access for privileged users, eliminated passwords for key systems, and streamlined multi-user account management. Deployment was rapid, and the results included enhanced security for critical public sector clients, increased productivity by removing password resets, and a foundation for extending secure access to third parties. Phoenix was so satisfied that they became a Yubico reseller, recommending the YubiKeys to their clients.
