About

Duo Security, now part of Cisco, stands as a leading provider of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure access solutions. The platform focuses on delivering enterprise-grade security through an intuitive user experience that doesn't compromise productivity.

The company's core offering centers around adaptive authentication that verifies user identity through multiple factors. Duo's MFA solution supports various authentication methods including push notifications, SMS, voice calls, hardware tokens, and biometrics. The platform integrates seamlessly with hundreds of applications and services, from cloud platforms like Office 365 and AWS to on-premises infrastructure.

Duo Access extends beyond traditional MFA by providing comprehensive device trust and secure remote access capabilities. The solution evaluates device health, applies security policies, and enables secure connections to corporate resources. This approach ensures that only trusted users on trusted devices can access sensitive applications and data.

What distinguishes Duo Security is its emphasis on user experience alongside robust security. The platform's self-service enrollment process and intuitive mobile app reduce administrative overhead while maintaining high security standards. Advanced features include risk-based authentication that adapts security requirements based on user behavior and context.

Organizations across various industries rely on Duo Security to protect their digital assets. Healthcare systems use the platform to secure patient data access while maintaining HIPAA compliance. Financial institutions leverage Duo's solutions to protect customer accounts and meet regulatory requirements. Educational institutions deploy the platform to secure campus-wide access to learning management systems and research resources.

The platform provides detailed security insights through comprehensive reporting and analytics. Administrators can monitor authentication events, identify potential security risks, and demonstrate compliance with industry regulations. Integration capabilities extend to SIEM platforms and security orchestration tools.
