Drive CJIS Compliance with Proactive Cybersecurity

A Secure Passwordless Future with the YubiKey

With cyber threats growing more sophisticated, agencies handling Criminal Justice Information (CJI) are turning to phishing-resistant, passwordless solutions like YubiKey to meet CJIS compliance standards. Traditional mobile-based authentication methods fall short in security and usability, especially in public sector environments with mobile restrictions or high user turnover. The City of Southgate, Michigan, implemented YubiKeys as part of a forward-thinking cybersecurity strategy, pairing them with certificate-based authentication to exceed CJIS and PCI DSS requirements. This approach not only hardened their digital defenses but positioned them ahead of evolving federal mandates.
