Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys
When we access sensitive servers, there is always a need to have a 2-step verification process. So one step is always what you know, which is like a password. The second step is something that you have, which is the Yubico YubiKeys. So Yubico YubiKeys provides that 2-step authentication process without going through the hassle and it's also convenient because of the laptops that we have. I think it supports both Windows and Mac and I think we have both kinds of users and they both use it and it seems to work well.
- It works all the time and it works well, so I think that's all I care about and it that's the work that it's supposed to do really well.
- It can be about access control because either right now it's just you have access or you don't have access. I think there can be a use case where you are allowed a particular set of servers and not a particular set of servers. I think maybe it's there or we don't use it, but I haven't seen that. I think I've used Yubico YubiKeys at two companies and I haven't seen that. Maybe that's something that can be added.
- I think I will just concentrate on the risk because that's the one that is more specific to the user and also to the job function that I'm doing. I think the others are more if you are doing it as a whole and if you are in a management portion, how it's going to affect the corporation. I'm not in that role, so I'll not go into that, but as a user and as someone who is very conscious about security, I would just say it is definitely a must to avoid the risk as a way to do a 2-step authentication for all sensitive servers that the users have to use or the developers need to use, and I think it can be for various use cases, not only for a developer, but only also for management professionals who want to have access to some dashboards which may be very sensitive for the organization or maybe also data related. I'm just focusing on the data aspect and the user aspect of it.
I believe it adds an additional layer of security. I think it doesn't have to do with the others because we use it. We use it mainly to make sure that only some of the users have access to the privileged servers.
I haven't seen a demo of it. I would like to see a demo to see how well it can be used because we use it in addition to login security, but if YubiKey provides a login security as well, I would like to see a demo on how effective it can be.
I don't think I've used anything else.
