A New Approach to Modern Authentication

Jan 22, 2024 | By Chris Carrero

In the dynamic realm of modern business, adaptability is crucial. The surge in remote work and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend has propelled organizations into a new era of digital transformation. This shift brings forth a diverse user landscape—employees, contractors, and partners working from any location, at any time, and on any device. In this evolving scenario, traditional assumptions about user identities and device security are no longer tenable, necessitating innovative solutions.

 

Where Two-Factor Authentication Meets Endpoint Visibility

Enter Duo Beyond, a beacon of security in the face of this diversity. It seamlessly merges two-factor authentication (2FA) with endpoint visibility, ensuring secure access to internal applications regardless of user location or device. This powerful combination addresses the urgent need for organizations to authenticate users and verify the security posture of their devices.

Swift and Secure Access with Duo's MFA

At the forefront of Duo's offerings is its multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution. Integrated natively with leading remote access solutions like Cisco AnyConnect VPN and Microsoft Remote Desktop, Duo's MFA establishes a swift and secure user authentication process. Users can confirm their identities within seconds, minimizing security and compliance risks for organizations.

Flexibility in Security Policies

Duo goes beyond MFA by introducing flexible security policies that organizations can enforce during access. IT administrators gain granular control, setting policies based on user and device attributes such as user group, location, and device security posture. This level of customization enables organizations to effectively manage security risks by defining who can access internal applications and under what conditions.

Consistent User Experience

Ensuring a seamless user experience is pivotal for Duo. Leveraging features like Duo Push and other authentication options provided by IT administrators, users can authenticate instantly, enhancing overall productivity. The emphasis on user experience underscores Duo's commitment to striking a balance between security and effortless access.
