Northamber has bolstered its security division by tying up a partnership with Yubico. Introducing Yubico’s two factor authentication to its range of security products, Northamber has added the security company’s YubiKey to its range of security products.
With more than two decades of experience in distributing advanced security solutions, Northamber is also on the hunt to bring the ‘best-of-breed’ products and services to its partners. And with GDPR coming into play later in the year and a greater focus on cloud storage technology, YubiKey perfectly completes Northamber’s security lineup.
A gold-standard easy-to-use, multi-protocol, hardware authentication device, Yubico is used by global enterprises and millions of individuals to protect access to computers, networks and online services. Andrew Holder, of Northamber added: “What attracted us to Yubico was the product’s ability to combine security with simplicity. Regardless of the size of our customers’ organisation, the YubiKey offers a user friendly, highly secure, and low cost device that eliminates the preconceived difficulty associated with hardware authentication.
"The YubiKey integrates with hundreds of applications and open source software, offering our customers an unrivalled level of flexibility to ensure the product is the right fit for them. Yubico offers a complete authentication solution, which we couldn’t see from their competition at this price point.”
The YubiKey, delivers strong hardware protection, with a simple touch, across any number of IT systems and online services. Meanwhile the security company’s other products offer slightly different services. For example, the YubiHSM, Yubico’s ultra-portable hardware security module, protects sensitive data inside standard servers.
