Hardware-based phishing-resistant MFA and passwordless authentication
Yubico manufactures YubiKey hardware tokens and operates as a standards-setter for FIDO2 and WebAuthn authentication. The tech stack—C, Assembly, Linux, HSM, PKCS#11—reflects a hardware-focused, cryptography-heavy engineering approach. Active projects center on firmware development, zero-trust adoption, and phishing-resistant MFA implementation, while pain points cluster around enterprise utilization expansion, global logistics complexity (customs valuation, export controls), and channel acceleration—indicating a company in transition from product-led to sales-led go-to-market.
