As the global standard for hardware-based phishing-resistant authentication, Yubico’s YubiKey eliminates the credential-theft attacks that bypass every form of software MFA. DCI has deployed more than 600,000 YubiKey tokens across the Canadian federal government — making it one of the largest phishing-resistant rollouts in public sector history. Canada’s Bill C-8 (tabled June 2025, passed House of Commons April 2026) now mandates cybersecurity programs across federally regulated critical infrastructure — telecommunications, banking, energy, and transportation — creating an immediate compliance driver for hardware-grade authentication. With Yubico publishing its 2026 cyber resilience roadmap highlighting expanded Entra ID and Azure integrations, Canadian departments and critical infrastructure operators have a clear, proven path to meeting the new legislative bar through YubiKey.
