Moving from SecurID to Duo: A Customer’s Journey
In a previous blog post, we highlighted why customers are replacing RSA with Duo Security. We discussed how companies are leveraging Duo’s modern security solution to help them solve fundamental security challenges around access management. Additionally, we discussed other major drivers that propelled these companies to migrate from RSA, which included improved end user experience, easy and intuitive administration, and affordability.
If you are still determining if migrating from a legacy provider is the right direction for your organization, check out our ebooks. Our customers have found our Two-Factor Authentication Evaluation Guide and The Essential Guide To Securing Remote Access helpful in making an informed decision.
The Evolution of MFA
The modern workforce demands more flexibility and convenience. Their expectations on how enterprise security applications should function have changed based on the user experience they enjoy with consumer applications like Facebook. In their minds, ease of use and security should no longer be at odds.
We agree - that’s why we’re focused on ensuring security is simple for everyone. In our opinion, simplicity leads to security effectiveness across an organization. One of our core product design philosophies is creating an exceptional user experience for every user, regardless of their technical prowess. This ensures seamless and secure access to applications, systems and data with limited circumvention of security controls.
Another sign of the modernization and evolution of MFA was the updated NIST 800-63-3 Digital Identity Guidelines, which allows companies to leverage new forms of authenticators, such as Duo Push, as opposed to previous guidelines that recommended tokens. You can read more around these new changes here.
Ready for a Change
We understand that replacing a legacy provider can be a difficult journey. You have history and integrations. You thought things would change and get better; heck, they promised you that they would. Unfortunately, too many promises have been made with little-to-no delivery. You’ve come to the realization that the way it is, doesn’t need to continue. You are ready for a change.
Duo has assisted countless customers through migration from legacy providers. This migration has helped them advance their security programs while future-proofing their security technologies.
Our vision is to provide you a scalable security technology platform that aligns with your company’s long-term security strategy for access management.
