Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an access security product used to verify a user's identity at login. It adds two or more identity-checking steps to user logins by use of secure authentication tools. Adding MFA keeps your data secure. With Cisco Secure Access by Duo, it's easier than ever to integrate and use.
Our robust MFA product is flexible for users but rigid against threat. The interface provides a fast, non-disruptive and simple authentication experience, helping users focus their time on what matters most.
MFA That Works Everywhere
Duo deploys in most major apps out of the box and integrates with custom applications with minimal IT involvement, making it a scalable secure access solution.
A Multi-Factor Product That Can Verify in Multiple Ways
Duo MFA provides you with the ability to choose which method or methods of authentication you’d like to use.
MFA in a Simple App
Our MFA app reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by providing users with an easy verification process on their mobile device.
Not every MFA solution is the same. Some vendors only provide the bare minimum needed to meet compliance requirements — and include lots of hidden costs required for deployment, operation and maintenance. Plus, many traditional solutions are clunky and error-prone, and require extensive user training and support.
