Now Available: Duo Federal Edition Integration With Microsoft Entra ID

In the June D292 Duo D-release, the Duo Federal edition integration with Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies became available.

This Duo integration with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) Conditional Access policies adds 2FA to Entra ID logons, offers inline user enrollment and supports a variety of authentication methods — such as Duo Push, Verified Duo Push, passkeys and security keys in the Universal Prompt. 

Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access allows you to set policies that evaluate Entra ID user access attempts to applications and grant access only when the access request satisfies specified requirements e.g. user group memberships, geolocation of the access device, or successful multifaceted authentication.

Duo’s custom control for Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access provides strong secondary authentication to Entra ID logons along with Duo’s granular access policies and controls complement and extend the access controls in Entra ID. It is important to note that this integration only works with Commercial Entra ID tenants and does not work for Entra ID GCC or GCC-High.

This is one of the first major updates since the Duo Federal edition since its FedRAMP Authorization.

Duo Federal MFA & Duo Federal Access

Both the Duo Federal MFA and Duo Federal Access editions will be undergoing an upcoming update to the edition names similar to what the Duo Commercial edition had back in May 2023. These changes align with the Cisco Security Portfolio and reflect our comprehensive solutions and rich feature-set.

For the Duo Federal editions, Duo MFA will be renamed to Duo Essentials and Duo Access will be renamed to Duo Advantage. Regardless of the name change, they will continue to be federally compliant and FedRAMP authorized. Learn more about Duo’s Federal editions.

These Duo Federal editions support Authentication Assurance Level 2 (AAL2) with Duo Push or Duo Mobile Passcode for both Android and iOS devices by default out-of-the-box with no additional configuration required. Duo also supports AAL3 authenticators such as FIPS YubiKey from Yubico.
