Cisco Duo

We use Cisco Duo as a MFA to secure user identities and access to applications. It offers you powerful layer of protection against unauthorized access by offering multiple forms of verification before granting access to sensitive data and applications. It helps your organization to confidently manage remote access and maintain secure environment for users.

• It provide us powerful layer of protection against unauthorized access

Cisco Duo is used when our users log into their Desktops, it prompts them for a Cisco Duo key, which in our case is sent via their cell phones. Also, we use Cisco Duo to secure our Student Management system and our Staff / HR systems. We are planning to roll out application control requiring Cisco Duo as well. It is a very powerful tool, which we have had to carefully deploy so we do not block out entire groups, or make it very tedious logging into applications.

• The biggest ROI was ironically from a business perspective. Our insurance wanted us to beef up our cyber security and systems that protect our internal resources. One of the many points of interest was MFM, which Cisco Duo does very well.
• Cisco Duo forces uses to NOT give out their passwords, and logins due to the MFM requirement. This in itself offers more security to our network.

A few years ago our cyber insurance company started requiring us to use two factor authentication. We needed something we could roll out quickly, but also had a wide range of capabilities. We looked at different vendors and decided on Cisco Duo. It satisfied our need for interoperability with custom applications, additional support for servers and easy to use app for end users.

• In the past we had issues with user accounts getting compromised. Since implementing Cisco Duo we haven't seen a single instance of this happening.
• We've had concerns about access to our custom apps. When volunteers or law clerks leave our agency we can disable their account and Cisco Duo automatically knows to disable 2FA access.
• The only negative impact was temporary when we informed staff that 2FA would be mandatory.
