YubiKey 5 (NFC) FIPS

The YubiKey 5 FIPS Series is a hardware based authentication solution that provides superior defence against phishing, eliminates account takeovers, and enables compliance requirements for strong authentication. This series of security keys are FIPS 140-2 validated (Overall Level 2, Physical Security Level 3.) and meet authenticator assurance level 3 (AAL3) of NIST SP800-63B guidance (Government Certified).

Note: At this time, the YubiKey for Windows Hello App is not compatible with YubiKey FIPS series devices.

Do I need the FIPS key to secure my organisation?

FIPS stands for Federal Information Processing Standard. The FIPS key is primarily used for companies working in or with regulated industries, usually federal or government agencies. If you do not work in a federal or government space that requires the FIPS 140-2 certification then it is not necessary for your organisation. FIPS is a security certification that meets strict security standards. 

You should only purchase FIPS keys if your organisation specifically requires them. Please contact our business and enterprise sales team on 02 9157 4588 to validate your requirement for FIPS Certified YubiKeys.
