Avoid an identity crisis
Enhance Duo with Cisco Identity Intelligence (CII). With next-level protection for users, logins, and passwords, Cisco Identity Intelligence provides unmatched visibility into who’s accessing your network, from where, and from which device. Cisco Identity Intelligence expands the functionality of Duo beyond just access management and into Continuous Identity Security, enabling stronger protection of your identity perimeter.

Boost Duo with identity insights
With so many disparate apps and services that make up identity infrastructure, it’s hard to get a unified view of who’s accessing your network. Cisco Identity Intelligence and Duo are pairing up to change that.

Centralized visibility and control
With a complete view of your entire user inventory – including employees, contractors, and vendors – you can significantly reduce the risk of a breach. Duo and Cisco Identity Intelligence make it easy to clean up dormant accounts, expand multi-factor authentication (MFA) usage, and reduce administrator privilege creep.

Ensure MFA adoption
Use Cisco Identity Intelligence’s enhanced user visibility to expand the usage of MFA in your environment and then boost the efficacy of your existing MFA.

Identity-based trust, reimagined
Attackers today don’t break in – they log in. Using advanced social engineering techniques, attackers’ methods have evolved to target user identities. According to Verizon's 2023 DBIR, 74% of breaches include the human element.
All of this points to one conclusion: Organizations need to reimagine their identity-based trust.
Cisco Identity Intelligence protects:
![icon users](/assets/img/content-text/Users-icon-64.png)

Data
Keep data protected, whether it lives on the company network or in the cloud.
![icon behaviors](/assets/img/content-text/behaviors-icon-64.png)
Behaviors
Keep tabs on unusual behavior and changing context – every time an employee, contractor, vendor, or anyone else logs in to the company network.
Address identity-based attacks
By ingesting and centralizing identity context, Duo can now better assess user risk in any environment. This context can be helpful proactively, highlighting areas where defenses can be improved - or reactively, helping teams respond to risk. Leveraging this cross-platform data helps IT security teams address modern, sophisticated identity-based attacks.
See what we debuted at Cisco Live! 2024 in Amsterdam. The following demonstration highlights Duo’s new ability to detect and respond to identity-based threats leveraging Cisco Identity Intelligence.
Cisco Duo's commitment to dynamic response to risk, coupled with an emphasis on seamless user experience, is not just timely—it's groundbreaking."
