Verify Trusted Users
Every user has a different use case for accessing applications, and Duo handles them all with ease. Detect user location, device, role, and more at every login, set security policies based on these attributes, check for anomalous access, and continuously monitor policy efficacy—all without interrupting your users’ daily workflows.
Secure Access Based on Device Trust
Protect against potentially compromised or untrusted devices trying to access your applications and data. Apply security policies across every device—managed or unmanaged. Duo helps you control access to your applications through flexible policy by restricting access when devices do not meet security requirements such as having an out of date browser or operating system.
Adaptive Authentication in Action
Reduce Your Risk of Breaches
The average cost of a phishing attack is $1.1 million—a heavy price for any size organization to pay for failing to protect users from attacks targeting them. Duo’s risk-based adaptive access policies work to prevent costly identity-based attacks with dynamic user authentication and device verification.
Create Custom Authentication Policies
Make authentication smarter, not harder. Duo helps you fully customize simple yet powerful authentication policies so users and devices can access the resources they need. Access requirements can be tailored to specific applications based on the sensitivity and criticality of their data.
Dynamically Respond to Risk
For growing organizations, users logging in from new locations and devices can complicate secure access management. Duo's risk-based authentication policies enable real-time adaptability at login, dynamically adjusting verification requirements to respond to evolving risk. Swiftly deny access or request additional verification to protects your systems and users.
Learn How Risk-Based Authentication Works
Safely Enable Hybrid Work

Frequently Asked Questions
What are adaptive access policies?
Adaptive access policies allow administrators to control user access to applications, files, and other resources based on contextual factors that could change between user application access attempts. Examples of these factors include a user's location, a user's role, the level of trust in their device, and other risk signals.
What are the benefits of adaptive access policies?
Adaptive access policies assess contextual data and enforce access controls in real time to help ensure the right level of access for each user and reduce the risk of unauthorized access and costly breaches. Continually verifying user and device trust at each access request enables safe hybrid work and helps build the foundation of a zero trust security strategy.
