Why Duo?

Cyber attackers are an annoyingly persistent bunch, and in response, MFA providers have designed increasingly difficult-to-breach security solutions. The only problem? These complex systems can make life equally difficult for your own team to navigate, especially in the age of remote work.

With Duo, there’s no compromise. You get ironclad security that protects your organization from bad actors — and your team gets a fast, easy, flexible user experience that helps hybrid teams work anywhere, on any device.
