Meet the new Duo

Everything you need to get started with IAM. Securely.

What does it mean to be security-first?

Security functionality should be foundational – not an expensive add-on.

It means placing broad-based security controls in our base edition – not charging more for each additional use case.

MFA everywhere. By default.

MFA is foundational. Yet many solutions enable MFA for some users or some use cases – only to charge more for others. With Duo, get the broadest coverage of MFA for everyone – no exceptions.
