About Duo Security

Duo, now Cisco’s zero-trust arm, made multi-factor authentication tolerable: a push notification, one tap, done. Device health checks gate access from unpatched machines, and passwordless via passkeys is rolling forward. Deployment speed is its calling card, with directory sync and app integrations measured in days. Deeper zero-trust features climb the pricing tiers.
