Stay ready for anything

Powered by Cisco Identity Intelligence, Duo Advantage provides visibility across diverse identity sources, gathering identity insight to assess identity-related risk using AI. This context then informs Duo's robust policy engine to enforce access control. Gain comprehensive visibility and protection with Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and powerful Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) to mitigate modern identity-based attacks before they start.

Frustrate attackers, not users

Duo Passport minimizes user fatigue by eliminating repeated authentication prompts when access context remains the same, ensuring security while improving productivity. Passport with enhanced Session Hijacking Prevention eliminates the use of stealable “Remember me” session cookies that can be used to impersonate workers. Duo’s cookie-less solution provides a balanced approach to security while preserving the end-user experience. Additionally, Duo's risk-based authentication policies dynamically adjust authentication requirements based on real-time risk signals, such as known attack patterns or changes in location using Duo's patent-pending Wi-Fi Fingerprint technology.

Check your devices’ vital signs

Duo Advantage includes Device Health check policies, which ensure all devices that attempt to access your network or applications are safe and meet your organization’s security requirements. For laptops and desktops, the Duo Desktop application checks and enforces requirements for OS and path versions, browser and plug-in versions, as well as the status of security settings such as password, disk encryption, and host firewall. For mobile devices, the Duo Mobile application checks and enforces requirements for OS versions and security settings such as screen lock, biometric verification, and jailbroken/rooted status.

Get granular with adaptive access

With Duo’s robust adaptive access policies, Duo Advantage administrators can assign and enforce policies either globally, per-application, or per-user group. Admins can also create user groups based on user location, device health, or network.

At-a-glance admin panel & reporting

Duo Advantage administrators can access Duo's full-featured administrator panel to more effectively enforce adaptive access policy controls, and gain the visibility needed to identify gaps in compliance. With comprehensive reporting for both cybersecurity compliance and IT audits, Duo’s admin panel helps take the burden off administrative management.
