Yubico, the pioneer of phishing-resistant authentication and creator of the most secure hardware-backed passkey – the YubiKey – announces its official acceptance as a member of the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO), a pan-European public-private federation focused on empowering European cybersecurity communities. The membership empowers both Yubico and ECSO to accelerate a shared commitment to advancing phishing-resistant authentication and modern digital identity standards across Europe.
ECSO welcomes Yubico at a pivotal moment, as organisations across the continent – and globally – struggle to mitigate a massive wave of sophisticated credential-based attacks easily bypassing traditional passwords and legacy, phishable multi-factor authentication (MFA). As AI-driven phishing attacks targeting digital identities surged over 200 percent in Europe, this membership highlights Yubico's role as a trusted cybersecurity leader and innovator in digital identity protection throughout Europe.
