Duo Essentials At-A-Glance

Identity security and access management simplified

Securing and managing identities across your organization doesn’t need to be challenging. Duo Directory, Duo’s IdP solution, can serve as your source of truth for user directory, primary authentication, attribute management, and more. Get zero trust identity and access management that reduces friction, increases security, and lowers costs for all.

Modern MFA that's phishing-resistant

Duo’s modern MFA solution prevents security breaches by stopping the use of stolen credentials and thwarting MFA bypass attacks. With Proximity Verification, Duo delivers phishing resistance without extra hardware or added complexity.

As simple as it is secure

The key to strong security is usable security. Duo users appreciate the simplified user experience that SSO provides them — login just once to access all approved applications, securely.

No more “I forgot my password”

Give your users a secure, end-to-end passwordless experience. With Complete Passwordless, organizations can completely eliminate passwords from the entire authentication process. Duo not only secures the login, but also protects other vulnerable steps of the identity lifecycle like enrollment time, fallback (when backup authentication methods are used), and when helpdesk requests are made. This helps reduce password-related IT costs while simultaneously boosting organizational security.

Micro-manage device trust

With Duo's Trusted Endpoints verification, administators can block access from unknown devices and allow only known, registered endpoints, whether they're company-issued or personal BYO devices, to access resources.
