Cisco Duo helps organizations protect access with strong, user-friendly MFA across the applications, devices, and workflows people use every day. With Microsoft Entra External MFA, customers can use Duo as an external MFA provider for Microsoft applications and other services protected by Entra ID authentication—extending familiar Duo security into Microsoft sign-in flows.

Join Cisco Duo and Microsoft for a better-together conversation on how this integration gives security teams more flexibility, continuity, and control.

You’ll learn how Duo can help satisfy Microsoft MFA policy requirements, including phishing-resistant authentication methods, inline enrollment, and self-service device management. We’ll also cover what External MFA means for Duo customers, how the partnership expands existing Duo integrations for Microsoft environments, and what to consider when migrating from Microsoft Custom Controls to Microsoft External MFA with Duo.
