FAMOC & YubiKey

2-Factor Authentication

As devices grow ever more connected the need for fast and seamless authentication is on the rise. Businesses which are realizing how important it is to have strong security are searching for more advanced authentication methods than a simple password. With SMS authentication compromised, IT pros follow a simple success formula for authentication: using something you already know (password/login) and something you have – and that’s the part the YubiKey comes in.

FAMOC & YubiKey integration

Powered by FAMOC, the IT admin can remotely configure VPN and use physical key for VPN connection and user authentication. The employee will authenticate with a simple tap over NFC and log in to a corporate network with a handy dongle.

Case study

Challenge

One of our main values is being #ObsessedWithSecurity. That is why in Famoc, where we always put security first, we decided to better secure logging into company devices, access to company data, but also to the office itself.

Solution

YubiKey is a dedicated security key for reliable login – you can use it to log in your laptop or phone, as well as to portals supporting this type of authentication (such as Gmail or Facebook). In Famoc, we use YubiKey to enter the office, get access to VPN and as two-factor authentication in Gmail.
