Enable PIV Smart Card Access with YubiKeys

SecureW2 transforms Yubico identity data into dynamic certificate policies that adapt to user context and risk in real time. Auto-remediate when suspicious behavior or account compromise occurs.

SecureW2's direct integration with Yubico enables real-time network policy enforcement based on Yubico Risk Engine signals. When user status, group membership, or risk score changes in Yubico, SecureW2 immediately adjusts network access privileges—blocking compromised accounts, or applying segmentation based on group membership and/or device posture by combining user signals with device trust from Jamf, CrowdStrike, and more.

Top SecureW2 + Yubico Use Cases

SAML Certificate Enrollment for Yubico Users

Enable self-service, certificate-based access for unmanaged devices using Yubico SAML SSO

Implementation Steps
  • 1 User downloads Self-Service Onboarding Client from JoinNow Landing Page
  • 2 Client redirects the user to Yubico SSO to enter credentials
  • 3 Credentials are verified, SAML token with user attributes sent to JoinNow Client
  • 4 Certificate is issued and installed with network settings; device is ready for Wi-Fi
Expected Outcomes
  • Passwordless, certificate-based Wi-Fi for unmanaged/BYOD devices

  • Role-based access using Yubico groups and attributes

  • Faster, self-service onboarding with minimal IT effort

  • Reduced risk of credential theft and spoofed networks
