Duo Multi-Factor Authentication by Cisco

DUO MFA is recommended to keep your employee logins secure and optimized for productivity.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application, online account, or a VPN. MFA is a core component of a strong identity and access management (IAM) policy.

Rather than just asking for a username and password, MFA requires one or more additional verification factors, which decreases the likelihood of a successful cyber attack.

MFA is based on three elements:

  • Things you know (password / PIN);
  • Things you have (smartphone / badge);
  • Things you are (fingerprints, retina).

Features include:

  • Multi / Two Factor Authentication
  • Mobile App with Push Notifications
  • WebAuthn and Biometrics Support
  • Single Sign-On Support
  • Cloud Support
  • Device Insight Overview
  • Access Controls
