Compliance mandates require many of our customers in regulated industries or in high-risk environments to prove adequate levels of protection for their data, no matter where it lives or travels. This is why we’ve continued to enhance the capabilities of both the YubiHSM 2 and YubiHSM 2 FIPS, the world’s smallest FIPS-validated and non-FIPS hardware security modules (HSMs). Today, we’re also excited to share that the YubiHSM 2 FIPS now meets FIPS 140-2, Level 3. Jump ahead to the “what’s new” section below to learn about the key new features in our YubiHSM 2 products.

Every organization can draw a line from their entire operation to privileged accounts and systems. Within every system a company uses, there’s a privileged account behind it to access everything from employee emails to sensitive databases and personally identifiable information (PII) data. No matter what risk you point at in an organization, you can draw a threat vector from that risk to a privileged account. With 70 percent of breaches linked to privilege abuse, organizations need a streamlined approach to protecting identities and privileged access. Because these accounts pose an elevated risk, it’s key to get them under control as soon as possible. Speed is key. There are significant benefits to accelerating the privileged access management (PAM) implementation process.
