What Is Phishing?
Phishing is a major threat to online security, with 90% of data breaches occurring due to these types of attacks. These attacks can be difficult to detect, as the fake emails and websites are designed to look legitimate. Hackers often impersonate well-known companies or organizations in order to gain the trust of their victims. They may also use urgency or fear tactics to pressure people into giving up their information.
To protect against phishing attacks, it is important to be cautious when clicking links or providing sensitive information online. Always verify the authenticity of the email or website before providing any information. Using a secure authentication method, like SafeKey, can also help protect against phishing attacks by adding an extra layer of security to your online accounts.

Using Passwords in Your Business is Not Safe
Passwords are no longer considered safe by experts in security and authentication. Passwords, along with SMS or app-based two-factor authentication codes, are vulnerable to phishing and porting scams. That’s why it’s important to use SafeKey, which offers an additional layer of hardware-based authentication to protect against these attacks.
Even if someone were to obtain a password, they wouldn’t be able to access the account without the SafeKey device. SafeKey also allows for passwordless logins for added convenience and security. It makes user authentication safer by adding an extra hardware layer to the authentication process.
To use SafeKey, the user simply connects it to their account in the settings and then confirms login with a touch on the device. On a computer, the SafeKey is inserted into a USB port and the user touches the device to verify their identity.
By implementing SafeKey for your business, you can protect your employees and your business against phishing attacks and other cyber threats. It offers numerous benefits, including extra hardware-based authentication, passwordless logins, and ease of use. Don’t leave your employees vulnerable to phishing attacks – consider implementing SafeKey today.

SafeKey Protects Your Business Against Cyber Threats
Hackers can easily gain access to your account using a variety of techniques:
- Brute force methods – using software to generate random username/password combinations or exploit common weak passwords like 123456
- Credential stuffing – using stolen or leaked credentials from one account to gain access to other accounts (people often use the same username/password combination for many accounts)
- Phishing – using fake emails or text messages to trick a victim into replying with their credentials
- Keylogging – installing malware on a computer to capture username/password keystrokes
- Man-in-the-middle attacks – intercepting communications streams (over public WiFi, for example) and replaying credentials
SafeKey offers an additional layer of hardware-based authentication to protect against these attacks. Even if someone were to obtain a password, they wouldn’t be able to access the account without the SafeKey device. SafeKey also allows for passwordless logins for added convenience and security.

SafeKey's Built-In Phishing Protection
SafeKey offers high security and checks whether the domain used actually belongs to the service you’re trying to login to. This makes phishing attacks on a technical level much more difficult as well.
User credentials are bound to the origin, so only the real site can authenticate with the key and you’ll never accidentally authorize malicious websites to use your credentials.

How Does Phishing Protection With A SafeKey Work?
When logging into a website, the user generally authenticates himself by providing a username and a password. With SafeKey, the user will have to additionally confirm the login with a click on the connected SafeKey device.
Register your SafeKey
To use the SafeKey, go to the settings of a supported service and select two-factor authentication to connect a security key.
Insert SafeKey & tap
On a computer, insert the SafeKey into a USB-port and touch the SafeKey to verify you are human and not a remote hacker.
