What is Duo?
Duo provides comprehensive, cloud-based identity security solutions designed to protect businesses of all sizes from unauthorized access and identity-related threats. Its platform focuses on verifying user identities and device health before granting access to applications, moving organizations towards a zero-trust security model. The system is built for ease of use, aiming to enhance security without hindering user productivity.
Key aspects of Duo's offering include robust multi-factor authentication (MFA) options, including phishing-resistant methods like FIDO2 and Verified Duo Push. It also features Single Sign-On (SSO) for streamlined access, adaptive access policies based on user context (role, location, device health), and device trust verification. Advanced tiers incorporate capabilities like risk-based authentication and threat detection powered by machine learning to dynamically respond to potential security risks.
