Cisco Duo + Amazon Web Services
Designed to simplify zero trust architecture, Cisco Duo integrates with AWS to ensure strong security with high productivity by establishing user and device trust at the time of access. With Duo’s multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), passwordless, and risk-based authentication, AWS customers can enable secure access from anywhere, on any device.
Authenticate users
Provide secure access to cloud resources with an added layer of protection using multi-factor authentication.
Enable access
Minimize password fatigue with added security for a frictionless Duo single sign-on (SSO) and passwordless experience.
Verify devices
Define, manage, and monitor device security posture to ensure only verified devices have access to AWS apps and services.
Authenticate users
The cloud offers many advantages, but it also presents a wider attack surface.
With Duo MFA, using the Quick Start guide, customers can easily protect access to AWS Directory Services in 10 min or less.
Level up your cloud security
Safeguard against unauthorized access with adaptive controls and changing context.
Make authentication user-friendly
Easily and quickly verify user identity using the Duo Mobile app from anywhere, at anytime.
Empower admins with granular controls
With Duo’s admin dashboard, create and manage security policies at the app or group level.
Compatible AWS integrations with Duo include:
Enable access
Multiple passwords for numerous AWS applications pose risks such as password reuse, weak passwords, and increased burden on IT and security teams.
With Duo SSO, users can authenticate once and get access to AWS apps using SAML and OIDC.
Streamline the login experience
Authenticate user identity using passwordless methods and minimize friction due to repeated logins.
Leverage smart security
Automatically step-up authentication requirements when Duo’s risk-based authentication detects commonly known attack patterns and high-risk anomalies.
Equip admins with central access management

Verify devices
In hybrid work environments, organizations allow managed and unmanaged devices to access AWS Workspaces, making it challenging to ensure access to only trusted devices.
Duo Desktop ensures that only trusted devices can access AWS Workspaces.
Check device security posture
Enforce device security policy to grant access to managed devices. Block access from devices that don’t meet security requirements.
Self-remediate devices that are out of compliance
Users can update out-of-date devices without the need to open a ticket with IT.
More visibility, more control for admins
Admins get complete visibility to manage devices accessing applications and identify potential risk issues from the admin dashboard.
