Duo Security Review

Duo Security is a cloud-based workforce identity security solution that protects application access for any user and device, from anywhere. Easy to use and deploy, it provides identity-focused protection and deep visibility across the entire identity ecosystem. It offers insight into all identity sources, from multi-factor authentication (MFA) usage, administrative controls, unmanaged device access, inactive accounts, excessive permissions, and more. Passwordless and Single Sign-On (SSO) features rely on multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify user identity using authentication tools such as biometrics, FIDO2 security keys, and Duo Mobile app push notifications.

DUO SECURITY – FEATURES

• Works with your resources: easily integrates with existing IAM solutions to serve as an identity security and orchestration layer, enabling phishing-resistant and fully passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) for everyone.
• Protect and manage third-party access: separates and mediates authentication for external identities, such as contractors and vendors, while providing the same level of protection as internal employees, making it an ideal alternative directory for managing and securing third-party access.
• Source of truth for identity: acts as a flexible and secure source of truth for primary authentication. It can be used alone or to enable authentication orchestration for SSO, passwordless, and phishing-resistant MFA across other identity sources.
• Enable multiple authentication sources simultaneously: easily coordinate your identity sources with intuitive routing rules, serving as a central hub for your identity ecosystem.
• Define identities your way: use custom attributes to define what constitutes a user identity in your organization, enabling workflows, automation, and orchestration across multiple identity sources.
• Simplify and scale user provisioning: automate provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning of users and groups in supported applications for speed, scalability, and consistency.
• Get adaptive authentication: adaptive authentication lets you set access policies based on factors such as user role, location, application, network, and device state.
• Intuitive setup: skip passwords, not security—eliminate repeated prompts. The platform keeps sessions secure with a single verification within a chosen time interval.
• Secure access control: see who is logging in and what they are doing, so you can manage access, enforce policies, and protect your team without slowing them down.
• Configure apps in no time: with hundreds of ready-to-use SSO integrations, the software simplifies and speeds up app setup. With generic SAML 2.0 and OIDC integrations, adding custom apps takes only seconds—no more waiting for configurations to complete.
