Technology Record - Issue 38: Autumn 2025

70 embedding phishing resistance into workplace culture and empowering non-technical users with intuitive, narrative-aligned experiences. Protecting authentication moments isn’t enough. Organisations must architect identity experiences that remove all phishable events across the user lifecycle. This shift from eventlevel security to persona-driven resilience is at the heart of Yubico’s enterprise approach. As Microsoft continues to evolve its Secure Future Initiative, IT leaders are looking for partners who go beyond integration and provide long-term strategic value. Capitalising on nearly a decade of strong partnership, Yubico continues to collaborate closely with Microsoft, evolving alongside its cloud security roadmap to ensure robust compatibility, simplified provisioning and high-assurance authentication. To support these initiatives, Yubico offers key services to businesses to make the process of purchasing and distributing YubiKeys easier globally. For example, Yubico FIDO Pre-reg is a turnkey service delivering pre-registered YubiKeys directly to users, streamlining provisioning across global teams. YubiEnroll is a versatile solution that enables IT to enrol and manage YubiKeys on behalf of users, integrated with Microsoft identity platforms. Plus, Yubico deployment guides, messaging templates and awareness materials help organisations turn secure access into a company-wide capability. In a world where phishing threats are relentless, hybrid work is the norm and user friction equals risk, passwordless authentication isn’t just a trend – it’s a transformation. Whether it’s securing frontline retail, modernising healthcare IT or simplifying Azure admin access, Yubico is turning mandates into momentum and enabling enterprises to operate as truly phishing-resistant organisations.
