Cisco Duo Partner: Multi-factor authentication
The second factor that stops a stolen password from becoming a stolen business.
What the partnership is
Duo is Cisco's multi-factor authentication platform. It adds a phone prompt or hardware key to logins on Windows, remote desktop, VPN, Microsoft 365 and most business applications, so a password alone is never enough.
Stolen or guessed passwords are behind the majority of small business breaches. MFA is now a standard requirement on cyber insurance applications, and Duo is one of the most widely accepted ways to meet it.
What it means for your business
Meets the insurance requirement
MFA on email, remote access and admin accounts is what underwriters ask for. Duo covers all three with one console.
Staff barely notice
A tap on a phone notification. No codes to type for most logins, and trusted devices can be remembered.
Covers the old stuff too
Duo protects Windows logins and remote desktop on servers that cloud-only MFA tools ignore.
