With offices in Australia, Germany, Singapore, the UK, America and Sweden, Yubico has developed a line up of protective offerings often referred to as YubiKeys and similar in concept to the dongle idea used several years ago when you would need to insert a device in order to gain access to a particular piece of software or service. This should re-enforce and give you an indication as to its importance if you did not already realise it.ĭifferent types of protection are available, including the approach taken by Yubico, a company founded in Sweden in 2007. You can be sure that those who have attempted, and maybe succeeded, in stealing your data will protect the information they have gathered. It is up to whoever owns the data, in the first place, to ensure that this valuable item is adequately protected.

The corruption, theft or illegal access of your data could cost a great deal of money and affect numerous people in many different ways. Data is a valuable asset whether you are an individual or, more importantly, a business.
