Yubico, the globally renowned provider of hardware authentication security keys, announced that it is now publicly traded under the ticker symbol YUBICO on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm.

Yubico announced its intent to go public on 19th April 2023, through a merger with Swedish holding company, ACQ Bure. The merger increases Yubico’s resources and ensures more organizations and consumers can be protected against a fast-growing array of cyber threats including AI-powered phishing schemes and ransomware attacks.

These attacks not only result in billions of dollars in yearly losses for businesses, but threaten the safe operation of critical infrastructure and services, from government agencies to financial institutions, factories, healthcare, and human rights organizations.
