HR security threats evolve

With the recent widespread remote work trend and increases in COVID-related phishing attacks and credential theft, HR and organisations, as a whole, realise the necessity of having robust data security in place.

Andrew Phillips, CEO, NQBE—Queensland, Australia said, “As security threats evolve so rapidly, the technologies designed to protect users do too... [so, they need to] ensure they have all the latest security protocols in place.”

Recently, Yubico, a provider of hardware authentication security key, announced the new expanded global availability of their enterprise subscription system. Following the initial roll out in the US and Canada, the system is now on offer across APAC. The system facilitates simple and secure access to computers, mobile devices, servers, and internet accounts. The company’s core invention, ‘YubiKey’, delivers strong hardware protection across any number of IT systems and online services. The ultra-portable hardware security module also protects sensitive data stored in servers. Organisations are increasingly leveraging such flexible and cost-effective systems to procure strong authentication to get the highest level of phishing defence.

Fredrik Krantz, Senior Vice President, EMEA and APAC, Yubico added, “We provide considerable cost and time savings, helping organisations to simplify their approach to strong authentication as their business evolves.”
