Duo Proximity Verification: Deployable phishing-resistant MFA
With Proximity Verification built into Duo’s IAM solution, organizations get strong, phishing-resistant authentication.

End-to-end phishing resistance that's actually deployable

Why a security-first approach to IAM matters more than ever
Security-first means putting security first whenever possible. Duo puts security controls on by default, not as a costly or incomplete add-on.
