Cloudflare’s new offering to build a safe and better internet

Cloudflare’s new offering to make physical security keys the most accessible and economical solution for customers to better secure their business and employees

Cloudflare has announced a new offering to make physical security keys the most accessible and economical solution for customers to better secure their business and employees. Cloudflare customers will be able to purchase Yubico’s security keys, the leading hardware security keys and most secure form of phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA), at an exclusive ‘good for the Internet’ cost.

Cloudflare customers will be able to claim an offer for Yubico’s Security Key Series at highly discounted prices – as low as $10 – through their Cloudflare dashboard. Larger organisations using Cloudflare and purchasing a multi-year YubiEnterprise Subscription for YubiKeys will receive a 50 per cent discount off their first year of a three-plus year subscription. This collaboration aims to make it simple and seamless for organisations of all sizes to acquire, activate, and authenticate with security keys.

“We’re always asking ourselves how we can do even more to provide the best possible security to our customers and the Internet-at-large. With phishing attacks on the rise, this means helping to democratise additional security measures to complement the Cloudflare Zero Trust experience. We experienced this first hand, and wanted to make implementing hardware security keys a no-brainer for any organisation,” said Dane Knecht, SVP, Emerging Technology and Incubation at Cloudflare. “Working with Yubico is just another way we’re trying to make it as seamless as possible to arm our customers with the best Zero Trust security strategy. Being a Cloudflare Zero Trust customer introduces an easy, fast and affordable way to implement security keys in your organisation, and all part of our greater mission to help build a better Internet.”

With Yubico, Cloudflare is ensuring physical security keys are:

  • Economical: Rolling out security keys can be difficult for companies with smaller security teams, or those that have just begun using two-factor authentication. By offering security keys at the most affordable rate, this offer makes the keys less of a financial burden on small companies.
  • Accessible: Now Cloudflare customers can order Security Key Series, supporting FIDO-based authentication, directly through their dashboard. The YubiKey 5 Series, available through YubiEnterprise Subscription, supports multiple authentication protocols, from legacy applications to modern FIDO-based apps and services. The exclusive ‘good for the Internet’ pricing, helps to introduce the value and functionality of hardware keys to Cloudflare customers.
  • Simple to use: Setting up security keys is easy for participating Cloudflare customers. For Administrators, Cloudflare Zero Trust makes it easy to use your security keys with any Identity Provider (IdP) and integrates both the keys and IdP into a comprehensive Zero Trust solution. For employees, a simple guided prompt makes the action of touching a security key for authentication seamless. Security keys work across all devices, operating systems, and areas within an organisation.

This special promotion will be available to Cloudflare customers until December 31, 2022.
