Microsoft integration with Duo

Organizations can’t rely on traditional perimeter security architecture to secure access to applications in a cloud application and mobile world. Protect access to both on-premises and cloud-based Microsoft applications with Duo’s solutions that verify trust for the workforce and authenticate Microsoft services.

Cisco Duo + Microsoft: better together

Duo makes it easy for users to authenticate to the applications they need—without compromising on security. With strong multi-factor authentication (MFA), deep device insights, and powerful policy customization capabilities, Duo verifies that only trusted users and devices are accessing your applications.

Duo never touches the primary authentication method
Diverse authentication options to verify existing user identities
Native integration with Microsoft Entra ID to support cloud adoption

Duo integrates with Microsoft Entra ID both on-premises and in Azure. This provides seamless integration to protected applications with automatic and self-service enrollment options which result in high user adoption.
