Cisco Duo Multi-Factor Authentication
A Better Authentication Experience

A Better Authentication Experience

Traditional two-factor solutions are unreliable and provide poor user experiences. They also often require professional deployment and ongoing management, which drive up the total cost of ownership.

A Modern Two-Factor Solution

Duo MFA makes multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor (2FA) authentication easy for both administrators and users. Duo provides an easy-to-use, secure mobile authentication app for quick, push notification-based approval to verify your user’s identity with smartphone, smartwatch and FIDO security key support. Duo also offers a more secure, Verified Duo Push option where users are required to input a unique code from the login device into the Duo Mobile app. Organizations can choose from a variety of second- and multi-factor authentication methods to fit every user’s needs.

Easy Deployment and Provisioning

As a secure, cloud-based solution, Duo MFA requires no on-premises hardware to be deployed. Our most popular authentication method, Duo Push, is sent via Duo Mobile, our smartphone application. This requires minimal administrative effort when enrolling new users.

Enterprise Protection for Thousands of Users

Protect every user quickly with Duo’s different user provisioning options - choose from Advanced Directory sync, bulk enrollment, user self-enrollment and more for accurate and frictionless user enrollment in Duo’s two-factor solution.

Advanced Administrative Management

Using Duo’s Admin APIs, advanced administrators can integrate and use Duo’s solution in an automated and scalable manner. Admins can easily manage their users, phones, tokens and integrations. Admin APIs also allow customers to interact with Duo’s security logs for customized reporting and analytics purposes.
