Case Study: Synetis eliminates password hassles and boosts security with YubiKey from Yubico

Synetis eliminates 100% of password reset requests with Yubico

Synetis, a leading independent consulting firm in France specializing in information system security, faced challenges securing employee workstations and access points. The requirement for employees to use and frequently change complex passwords led to forgotten passwords and a significant burden on the IT team. They needed a phishing-resistant security solution that was simpler for users than passwords. Synetis turned to vendor Yubico and implemented the YubiKey hardware security key.

The Yubico YubiKey provided a simple, physical authentication method to replace passwords for workstation access. This solution was rapidly deployed and expanded to secure servers. The results were immediate and significant: Synetis achieved a 100% elimination of password-related support tickets, freeing the IT team for higher-value work. The YubiKey also enhanced security by automatically locking workstations when removed and offered versatile, future-proof protection for additional use cases.
