Why Cisco Duo?
Duo delivers peace of mind with strong security and increased productivity at an unmatched value.
Cyber attackers are a persistent bunch. They’ve found new ways to circumvent weaker multi-factor authentication solutions, placing at risk what you had once secured. Some MFA providers have responded with blunt new defenses that keep bad actors out, but also make it more difficult for trusted employees to get in. This doesn’t work in our new world of hybrid work, where people expect flexibility and rely on the speed and consistency of their remote access to get the job done. We need stronger security that works smarter, not just harder, to protect organizations.
4 Reasons to Choose Duo
Cisco Duo provides the best of both worlds: a multi-factor authentication solution that is strong and easy-to use.
An MFA Solution That Fits Your Organization
Cisco Duo works non-stop to understand and stay ahead of the cyberthreat landscape. At the same time, we work hand-in-hand with leaders across industry and the public sector to understand the challenges they face from a business perspective, so the solutions we build make sense in your day-to-day context.
Don’t compromise on your own security solution
Other multi-factor authentication vendors talk about ease-of-use and building great customer experiences but fall flat when facing complex situations. Duo has evolved with the hybrid enterprise in mind, knowing that you need strong security at every point of your perimeter. Duo doesn’t make exceptions - it handles whatever you throw at it – to keep your business running at full speed.
