Duo Security Protects onPeak’s VPN & LDAP Infrastructure
I would absolutely recommend Duo Security. Their documentation is killer, their pre-sales support is killer...It’s been a really easy implementation for us, and we’ll continue to use it for our two-factor needs. - Perry Straw, Director of Infrastructure and Security, onPeak
Our latest customer story is with onPeak, a company that provides a web-based and mobile app for event organizers that need to book group hotel room reservations, helping them find lower room rates and higher priority points with one simplified interface.
Since onPeak processes credit card transactions online, they needed to meet PCI DSS compliance, specifically, standard 8.3 that requires retail organizations to:
Incorporate two-factor authentication for remote network access originating from outside the network by personnel (including users and administrators) and all third parties, (including vendor access for support or maintenance).
Those factors must be two of the three: 1) Something you know, such as a password; 2) something you have, like a smartphone or token device; 3) and/or something you are, like a biometric. Find out more about the two-factor requirements and PCI DSS in Retail and E-Commerce: PCI DSS Compliance.
onPeak also needed to replace their existing clunky and older two-factor authentication solution, Phonefactor, which was acquired by Microsoft while they were still using the solution. They also didn’t want to switch to RSA, which they found required an expensive upfront investment that included hardware. Their search for a lightweight, web-based technology that integrated seamlessly with theirs led them to Duo Security.
Their main goal was to protect their entire IT workforce comprised of systems, developers, QA and product teams that need access to onPeak’s networks in order to write code. They integrated Duo Security’s two-factor solution with their Cisco ASA VPN and LDAPS infrastructure.
