What is Duo Security?
The Duo Security platform is a comprehensive zero-trust security solution that safeguards access to critical data and applications for organizations of all sizes. At its core, Duo provides robust identity verification and device health assessments to establish user and device trust before granting access. The platform's multi-factor authentication capabilities offer a range of verification methods, including SMS, phone callbacks, hardware tokens, and push notifications, empowering users with a seamless, yet secure login experience. Administrators can configure granular access policies, controlling who can access specific applications and from which locations, effectively mitigating the risks posed by compromised credentials and non-compliant devices. The platform's endpoint visibility and remediation features enable organizations to maintain a complete inventory of user devices, identify vulnerabilities, and facilitate self-remediation, ensuring that only secure and up-to-date devices can access critical resources. Furthermore, Duo's Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality simplifies access management by providing users with a centralized portal to all their cloud-based applications, streamlining productivity while reinforcing security. By combining robust identity verification, device health monitoring, and access controls, Duo Security establishes a strong foundation for a zero-trust security model, safeguarding organizations against evolving cyber threats while enabling a seamless user experience
