How Duo Works
How can Duo help my organization?
Duo multi-factor authentication protects your organization's data at every access attempt, from any device, and from any location. It verifies user trust, establishes device trust, and provides secure access to company apps and networks-from wherever users are logging in.
How does Duo work?
When a user logs in-whether from their home office, the corporate office, or another remote location-Duo uses two-factor authentication and a zero-trust approach to security. Before granting access, Duo will:
- Verify user trust. Duo uses a second form of validation, such as a smartphone, to verify that a user is who they say they are before granting them access.
- Establish device trust. Once access is granted, Duo enables your organization to see every device that is connected to your network and applications and easily monitor device health and compliance.
- Enforce adaptive policies. You can set access levels based on role, device, location, and other relevant factors.
- Grant secure access to users. Get even more secure access, beyond what a VPN can provide, and verify the identities of users from wherever they choose to log in.
- Grant secure access to apps. Provide users with single sign-on (SSO) for a consistently easy login experience. A user-friendly dashboard provides streamlined access to company apps.
