Well, I'm the CEO lol so we have an advantage there.

> The problem is that the recent security company purchases suggest that it costs roughly $100 per month per user to have just basic security.

Totally, this is a huge issue to me. I strongly believe that we need to start getting TPMs and hardware tokens into everyone's hands, for free - public schools should be required to give it to students when they tell them to turn in homework via some website, government organizations/ anyone who's FEDRAMP should have it mandated, etc. It's far too expensive today, totally agreed.

edit: Wait, per month? No no.

> We don't need better crypto.

FWIW the kicker with yubikeys isn't really anything with regards to cryptography, it's the fact that you can't extract the seed and that the FIDO2 protocols are highly resistant to phishing.
