Cisco Duo enables our customers to deliver the best secure access experience for any application, from any device and any location. Duo verifies the user's identity and the trustworthiness of the device at every single login attempt, even when employees access corporate applications directly over the internet. IT administrators benefit by centralizing access control with Duo, where they can manage users, set access policies, and ultimately get granular visibility into which user is using what device to gain access to which application. In addition, Duo makes access more secure and easy for end users, with technologies such as passwordless authentication and risk-based authentication.

Duo delivers zero-trust security across the enterprise. Unlike traditional security that relies on a perimeter-based security model, a zero-trust model establishes trust for every access request, regardless of location. It enforces adaptive context-based access controls and continuously verifies trust. This requires leveraging strong authentication controls such as passwordless authentication, risk-based authentication, and MFA, monitoring user behavior and access patterns, and providing a streamlined user experience through single sign-on (SSO).

Cisco Duo Beyond Edition helps you:

• Verify User Trust: ensure users are who they say they are at every access attempt, and regularly reaffirm their trustworthiness.
• Establish Device Trust: see every device used to access your applications, and continuously verify device health and security posture.
• Enforce Adaptive Policies: assign granular and contextual access policies, limiting exposure of your information to as few users and devices as possible.
• Secure Access for Every User: provide appropriate permissions for every user accessing any application, anytime and from anywhere.
• Secure Access to Every Application: reduce the risk of credential theft by enabling users to access their applications securely with a single username and password.
